Wireless charging usually only works when a device is touching a power source. But researchers say they have found a way to provide wireless power and charging capability to large areas.A scientific team from Disney Research recently demonstrated the technology. Alanson Sample is the lead researcher at Disney Research. He explained the goal of the project in a video. "What we really want is a three-dimensional charging experience where you walk into your living room or office and your cellphone is charged simply by walking in.”The process uses magnetic fields to send power to specially designed receivers.Researchers built a 54-cubic-meter room in which the walls, floor and ceiling were covered with metal panels. They placed a long metal pipe in the middle of the room. Electrical currents travel up and down this pole about 1.3 million times per second. These currents also move through the ceiling, walls and floor, before flowing again up the pole. Small devices inside the pole set the level of electromagnetic waves. These waves continuously move around the room to send powerto receiving devices. The Disney researchers said repeated experiments led to successful wireless power transfers to many devices running at the same time.One of the concerns of electric fields is that they can be harmful to humans. But associate research scientist Matt Chabalko said the level of power being produced inside the room is not dangerous. “Our simulations show that we can transmit 1.9 kilowatts of power while meeting federal safety guidelines. This means it's completely safe for people to occupy this space for any amount of time."The experiments also showed that furniture inside the room was not damaged and did not block the wireless energy. One of Disney's likely uses for wireless power will be to create areas at its parks where visitors can charge their devices.4.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “demonstrated" in Paragraph 2?A. Believed.B. Showed.C. Improved.D. Chose.5.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.How a room is built for wireless charge.B.What is needed to charge wirelessly.C.What devices can be charged in the room.D.How wireless charge functions in the room.6.Why did the author mention the danger of wireless charge?A. To get rid of people's worry.B. To remind people of its existence.C. To show the way to solve it.D. To explain how harmful it is.7.What benefit might Disneyland bring to its visitors in the future?A.Visitors charge their devices cheaply.B.Visitors can stay in a safer environment.C.Their cellphones can be charged by themselves.D.The parks can brighten visitors without wires.CSchools won't resume until local authorities put the COVID-19 outbreak under control and roll out necessary containment measures on campus, a Ministry of Education official had said.Wang Dengfeng, director of the ministry's working group on epidemic control, said local authorities shall consult experts before reopening schools, and safety of the faculty membersshould be ensured.Resumption would be prioritized for the graduating classes in middle and high school, as they were supposed to sit for the high school or college entrance examination in about 80 days, he was quoted as saying by China Central Television.Wang said that the ministry is seeking advice from related departments as well as representatives of students and parents on whether to postpone the college entrance exams and the decisions will be made soon, and local authorities are entitled to decide whether to postpone the exam for high school candidates.Wang didn't rule out the possibility that school authorities could make up for the missed lessons using weekends, adding schools should decide depending on their respective situations.Colleges would be reopened later when the epidemic is securely under control, as more than 10 million college students are expected to travel across provinces and another 30 million would travel across cities for the new semester, he said.Local authorities should formulate emergency plans for potential cluster infections on campus and report to authorities higher up, he added.8.On what conditions can schools resume?A. The COVID-19 outbreak is under control.B. Necessary containment measures are rolled out.C. Safety of the faculty members is ensured.D. All of the above.9.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3?A. Deal with differently.B. Deal with importantly.C. Deal with firstly.D. Deal with in order.10.Which of the following is the possible way for school authorities to make up for the missedlessons?ing weekends.B.Working harder.C.Depending on respective situations.D.Seeking advice from related departments.11.What's the best title of this passage?A.Getting back to schoolB.Schools not resuming until outbreak under controlC.Postponement of the college entrance examinationD.The decision to postpone reopening schoolsDOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the "last paradise (天堂)on earth".However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation (开发,开采)of precious trees and plants.Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism, but the people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports;the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization ;he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain;now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countrieswe all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.12.What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?A. The Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not convincing.D. The advertisement is not impressive.13.The example of Nepal is used to suggest.A.its natural resources arc untouchedB.its forests are exploited for farmlandC.it develops well in health and educationD.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists14.Which of the following determines the future of tourism?A. The number of tourists.B. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism.15.The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. objectiveD. negative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。

Listening to amazing legends.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language.I had always enjoyed learning languages in school,but only recently did I start learning German.I found that I could understand and learn individual words easiIy,but when it came to literature,I really struggled.That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.At first,I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age,lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere.As children,we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures,and from there,we can learn and develop.I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK.1 managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result,you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story.At first,I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other,but this method did not work well for me.The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children's book and at the end of that chapter,highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions.If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary,you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story.Additionally,a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4.Why was the author advised to read children's books?______A. Because she was weak in reading great works.B. Because she was slow to learn language.C. Because she liked children's literature.D. Because she couldn't remember any words.5.What can kids get from childrens' books according to the passage?______A. Vocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6.What causes the author feel surprised while reading childrens' books?______A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definations of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7.What can be the best title of the passage?______A. Reading Children's BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCThere was a lot of news related to artificial intelligence,or AI,and machine learning.Among the stories were two dealing with direct competitions between humans and machines.In one competition,machines that used AI performed better than human beings in a high-levelreading test.Two natural language processing tools beat human in the experiment.One of the tools was built by the American technology company Microsoft.The other was created by Chinese online seller Alibaba Group.In another competition,a computer took on humans in live,public debates.The event demonstrated how AI-powered computers are increasingly being developed to think and sound like humans.The organizer of the debates,U.S.technology company IBM,announced split results.It said a majority of those watching said they felt the machine had done more to improve their knowledge of the subject.But,the human got more praise for communicating their ideas.This year,we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used.For example,some U.S.judges use machine learning systems to help them decide when,and for how long,criminals should be jailed.The system uses computers to examine data from thousands of court cases.One fast-growing area of AI is facial recognition,which is increasingly being used for security purposes.Recently,Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport became the first in the U.s.to permit passengers to use facial recognition technology to get on flights.A Chinese company showed off an AI system it developed to recognize individuals by body shape and walking movements.The system is already being used by Chinese police in Beijing and Shanghai.In addition,machine learning was used during 2018 to predict results of the World Cup soccer competition.The technology also created artwork that sold for a large amount of money.And it is being used to help farmer save time and money,while reducing environment-harming chemicals.Other technology systems are being used to follow farm animals and wildlife to collect information on their activities.8.Why were the two competitions mentioned in the passage?______A. To show how much better AI and machine learning are than humans.B. To prove AI and machine Learning got more praise for communication.C. To show how powerful AI and machine Learning are.D. To prove AI and machine learning have been used in the work of U.S.judges.9.What are facial and body recognition systems used for in the passage?______A. Knowledge learning.B. Safety control.C. Office automation.D. Tracking survey.10.What can we infer from this passage?______A. AI has been widely used in every person's daily life.B. Human can be replaced by AI in future completely.C. More attention is being paid to AI in every part of the world.D. More advanced Al is helping people in more and more areas.11.Where is the text probably from?______A. A technology report.B. A natural science magazine.C. A science fiction.D. A government document.DSolar energy systems/power plants do not produce air pollution,water pollution,or greenhouse gases.Using solar energy can have a positive,indirect effect on the environment,when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.However,some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic (光电池的)cells that convert sunlight into electricity.Some solar thermal (保热的)systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat.Leaks of these materials could be harmful tothe environment.U.S.environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.As with any type of power plant,large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations.The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals.Some solar power plant-s may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators.Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources.In addition,the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day.However,on the surace of the earth,solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source.The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location.Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis.The type and size of a soIar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy.12.Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in paragraph 2?______A. inexpensiveB. dangerousC. ineffectiveD. abnormal13.What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations?______A. Polluting the ground water.B. Protecting the habitats of plants and animals.C. Damaging the local natural balance.D. Attracting birds and insects to the area.14.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?______A. Different areas receive different amount of solar energy.B. How to convert solar energy into useful energy.C. The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.D. Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.15.What does the author think of the solar energy systems?______A. They are totally environment-friendly.B. They have both advantages and disadvantages.C. They should be forbidden in the future.D. They shouId be encouraged in quantities.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Studies have shown that drinking water on empty stomach can help increase metabolic (新陈代谢的)rate up by 30%.(1) .You know what that means right?-- Quicker weight loss!(2) ,then you will be able to digest food faster and maintain a slim figure despite eating those extra calories.However,this doesn't guarantee you to bite down on all that junk food.Furthermore,you will need to add in around four litres of water into your daily routine for best results.Constipation(便秘)is one of the most painful conditions which also results in remains of poisonous substances inside the body.But did you know that one of the other benefits of drinking water is that it helps to clear out your bowels?The colon(结肠),which is in part responsible for bowel movements,require water to function properly.(3) .Drinking water on empty stomach especially if it's hot,can improve the health of our nervous system.Early morning,the stomach is most receptive.At this moment,if you love coffee,which makes central nervous system excited,your nervous system will be affected from the get-go.(4) ,it can properly supply water to your nervous system,which will help it functionproperly.Again,if you are likely to suffer migraine attacks,then water can help fight it off.(5) .So just by increasing your water intake,you are basically preventing your chances from suffering another headache attack.This is especially so when you are drinking water on empty stomach,as your body didn't get any liquid when you were asleep.A.If your metabolic rate is higherB.H you just have a glass of warm water instead.C.When your skin is properly containing combined water inside.D.This means that the rate at which calories are burned increases by nearly one third.E.So just drink down a glass of water and sit on your toilet for a clean colon.F.Your doctor might have already told you that headaches happen due to lack of water.G.Besides,we all know that having a healthy appetite is good for overall health.16.

AThe Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical AppearanceThe Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox, with a body length of about 9.5-16 inches, and 6-inch-long ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a cream-colored, furry body, with a black-tipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging, as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating (交配) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore (杂食动物). While it can survive on plants, it also needs other items such as insects, rabbits, birds and eggs. Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water. They are known to take in water when eating food, but will drink water if available.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

Waving her cap excitedly, the bright-eyed girl came up and greeted him with a friendly smile, “Hi! I’m Maxine! Glad to meet you! Kyle!” Kyle’s mouth fell open. “Max?” He froze, staring at her in disbelief. The new friend with common interests was a g irl!

And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried,but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead,tell us a funny anecdote,or about something nice.We'll appreciate the distraction,and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.4.What does the author intend to show by"It was nuts."in paragraph2?A.The goods were in short supply.B.The store was having a big sale.C.The cashiers complained about their work.D.The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5.What does paragraph3convey about customers?A.They like to shop here in disguise.B.They are panicky about the disease.C.They are more friendly to each other.D.They have taken proper preventive measures.6.Which of the following best describes the author?A.Optimistic.B.Talented.C.Ambitious.D.Efficient.7.What is the best title for the text?A.It is not work but worry that killsB.Helping others is helping ourselvesC.Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD.Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales,the earth's largest animals,call to others of their kind,though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery.But these sounds have begun evolving(演变).Since at least the 1960s,the pitch(音调)of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted.Scientists have theories as to why:all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique.Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch.In a study last year that analyzed more than1million individual recordings of whale calls,scale shifts were found across species,and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another.This is to say,whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However,scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.As their populations have grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch,however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,meanwhile,may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways.Recent study shows that,during the summer,the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice—a natural sound increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8.To what extent is whales'pitch drop?A.Across the species.B.In the Antarctic ocean.C.Among some populations.D.Within one million individuals.9.What causes the evolving of whales'pitch according to the text?A.Less communication and more threat.B.Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C.Sharp decrease of whales'populations;D.Underwater noises by ships and industries.10.What does the underlined word"modulate"mean in the last paragraph?A.Produce.B.Damage.C.Balance.D.Change.11.What can we infer from the text?A.Man is the soul of nature.B.Man and nature are in one.C.Nature pardons no mistakes.D.Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college:to get an education.In an era struggling for competitive balance,how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast?The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.Even worse,imagine athletes just coming to college for the money.We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is"a person who engages in a pursuit,especially a sport,on an unpaid basis." The keyword is unpaid.The history of the word"amateur"dates back to the French word"amator”,which means lover.Essentially,college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game,not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority,and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports.The expected career span of that two percent is10years,three and a half years in the National Football League(NFL).An astonishing80percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement,60percent in the NBA within five years.This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a"stay and learn”,rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college,they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose.That money from going professional is going to run out sometime,but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be,a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education.A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will.After all,they are called student-athletes.12.How can the salary difference influence college teams?A.It is likely to promote cooperation.B.It can increase their independence.C.It can lead to more communication.D.It will probably cause more imbalance.13.Why does the author give explanations to the word"amateur”?A.To give an individual comment.B.To confirm the origin of the word.C.To make the point more authoritative.D.To provide an example for the argument.14.How will college athletes benefit from the"stay and learn,,rule?A.Increase their earnings.B.Get trained for scholarships.C.Ensure themselves to get a degree.D.Continue their professional careers.15.What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A.For money or for career?B.A college education or not?C.Going professional or being amateur?D.To pay or not to pay college athletes?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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
2020年山东新高考英语全真模拟卷 (二)英语试卷第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AThe Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical AppearanceThe Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox, with a body length of about 9.5-16 inches, and 6inchlong ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a creamcolored, furry body, with a blacktipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging, as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating (交配) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore (杂食动物). While it can survive on plants, it also needs other items such as insects, rabbits, birds and eggs. Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water. They are known to take in water when eating food, but will drink water if available.21.What helps the Fennec fox survive in the desert?A.The small body size.B.The great hearing.C.Getting active at night.D.Living in groups.22.The word “radiate” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.A.send out B.take inC.suffer from D.turn down23.What can we learn about the Fennec fox in the passage?A.It seldom attacks others.B.It's difficult to raise it as a pet.C.It can survive without any water.D.It's the smallest animal in the desert.BDaban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10,000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some driedup rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.24.The first person setting foot in Loulan in the 20th century was ________.A.a European B.an AmericanC.a Chinese D.a Japanese25.Before Loulan disappeared, ________.A.there was no government in that areaB.people from America and Japan had been thereC.a lifeless area with lots of mounds could be easily seen thereD.much business between the East and the West had taken place there26.What can be inferred from the text?A.Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather there.B.Wars between the countries made Loulan disappear.C.Too many people gathered in Loulan and destroyed it.27.What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?A.Its pretty girls.B.Its developing business.C.Its mystery.D.Its beautiful scenery.CInternational pressure may be the only way to stop the Brazilian government from taking a “suicide” path in the Amazon, one of the country’s most respected scientists has said, as the world’s biggest rainforest continues to be destroyed by thousands of deliberate fires.The large number of fires— set illegally to clear and prepare land for crops, cattle and buildings– has resulted in the state of Amazonas to declare an emergency, created heavy smoke clouds that have drifted hundreds of miles, and raised international concerns about the destruction of a carbon sink, which refers to the use of plant photosynthesis (光合作用)to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.On Wednesday, the UK trade minister Conor Burns was shaking hands with his counterparts in Brasilia and declaring a desire to “deepen relations”. Asked about the fires, he declined to comment but reportedly said Bolsonaro’s government had ambitions to bring prosperity to its people.Scientists say the ongoing destruction will have serious consequences for Brazil and the world.Carlos Nobre, a senior researcher with the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo, said the increase in cutting down forests was taking the rainforest closer to a tipping point beyond which the usually humid forest would become an extremely dry place, with serious consequences for the climate, wildlife and forest creatures.Nobre said destruction of forests was on course to rise by 20-30% this year and was “very likely” to pass 10,000 sq km for the first time in more than 10 years. The trend has been worsening for several years, but it has accelerated under Bolsonaro, who has weakened the environment agency and expressed support for miners, farmers and loggers.Nobre表示,今年森林砍伐率预计将上升20-30%,并且很可能在十多年内首次超过10,000平方公里。

And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried,but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead,tell us a funny anecdote,or about something nice.We'll appreciate the distraction,and you'll make our day justa bit brighter.4.What does the author intend to show by"It was nuts."in paragraph2?A.The goods were in short supply.B.The store was having a big sale.C.The cashiers complained about their work.D.The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5.What does paragraph3convey about customers?A.They like to shop here in disguise.B.They are panicky about the disease.C.They are more friendly to each other.D.They have taken proper preventive measures.6.Which of the following best describes the author?A.Optimistic.B.Talented.C.Ambitious.D.Efficient.7.What is the best title for the text?A.It is not work but worry that killsB.Helping others is helping ourselvesC.Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD.Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales,the earth's largest animals,call to others of their kind,though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery.But these sounds have begun evolving(演变).Since at least the 1960s,the pitch(音调)of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted.Scientists have theories as to why:all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique.Many bluewhales around the world have also dropped their pitch.In a study last year that analyzed more than1million individual recordings of whale calls,scale shifts were found across species,and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another.This is to say,whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However,scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.As their populations have grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch,however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,meanwhile,may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways.Recent study shows that,during the summer,the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice—a natural sound increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8.To what extent is whales'pitch drop?A.Across the species.B.In the Antarctic ocean.C.Among some populations.D.Within one million individuals.9.What causes the evolving of whales'pitch according to the text?A.Less communication and more threat.B.Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C.Sharp decrease of whales'populations;D.Underwater noises by ships and industries.10.What does the underlined word"modulate"mean in the last paragraph?A.Produce.B.Damage.C.Balance.D.Change.11.What can we infer from the text?A.Man is the soul of nature.B.Man and nature are in one.C.Nature pardons no mistakes.D.Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college:to get an education.In an era struggling for competitive balance,how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast?The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.Even worse,imagine athletes just coming to college for the money.We call college athletes amateurs.

In 1985,Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations,Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic.The exhibition —originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum —shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship’s finding, but they can hear the f ascinating stories of some of the passengers on board the ship.

She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four-year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues(问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional(情感的) and financial support from her family. She learnedlife lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, "The more you’re out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end."1.What does Downey’s mother mean to Downey?A.A friend.B.A dreamer.C.An example.D.An expert.2.Why did Downey finally decide to study abroad?A.Her mother asked her to do so.B.Her school didn't live up to her expectations.C.She disliked studying architecture.D.The joint programs gave her much inspiration.3.What made Downey choose the Danish international school?A.The famous learned professors.B.The casual learning environment.C.The impressive academic reputation.D.The favorable geographical location.4.What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A.It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.B.The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.C.Downey was too young to take care of herself.D.Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.3、The Ebro Delta, known as, a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, where rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sell levels. What happens here will have an effect on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.Located in the Western Mediterranean, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent's most important rice-growing areas. As the sea moves into these fresh-water marshes(湿地), however, rising salinity(盐分) is hindering rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.The battle is currently in progress on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the guidance of "Project Neurice" are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency."The project has two sides, "says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona, "the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency. "Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta. For now, the giant apple snail's presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta, But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. "The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when."1. What's the most effective strategy according to Paragraph 2?A. Beating enemies one by one.B. Striking the stronger enemy first.C. Killing two birds with one stone.D. Using one enemy to hit the other.2. What do we know about the "Project Neurice"?A. It puts the control of snails first.B. It functions pretty well on climate change.C. It aims to increase the Spanish rice production.D. It stresses the snails' effect on rice production.3. What can be known about the apple snails from the text?A. It can tolerate the rising salinity.B. It will attack other rice-growing areas.C. It multiplies at a high speed.D. It was introduced into Span deliberately.4. Which section is the text most likely from?A. Chemistry.B. Tourism.C. Farming.D. Geography.4、The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000human-made features —homes,canals,highways,and more —have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking theoutlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹),but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called "Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings", to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can exp lain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it."There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data," Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. "There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about,and we will push back the frontiers with the technology," he added.1. What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Jungles.B. Human-made features.C. Researchers.D. Aerial images.2. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?A. The working principle of LiDAR sensors.B. The process of researching Maya civilization.C. Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.D. LiDAR’s contribution to discovering the relics.3. Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?A. Small and hidden.B. Famous and high-tech.C. Vast and complex.D. Fully-explored and imaginative.4. What will the archeologists do next?A. Continue to explore the unknown.B. Upgrade the LiDAR technology.C. Study the documentary carefully.D. Build a massive urban network,5、I feel happy when I come home at the end of the day and see those big, graphic prints on my wall.

AThe Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical AppearanceThe Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox, with a body length of about 9.5-16 inches, and 6inchlong ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a creamcolored, furry body, with a blacktipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging, as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating (交配) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore (杂食动物). While it can survive on plants, it also needs other items such as insects, rabbits, birds and eggs. Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water. They are known to take in water when eating food, but will drink water if available.21.What helps the Fennec fox survive in the desert?A.The small body size.B.The great hearing.C.Getting active at night.D.Living in groups.22.The word “radiate” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.A.send out B.take inC.suffer from D.turn down23.What can we learn about the Fennec fox in the passage?A.It seldom attacks others.B.It's difficult to raise it as a pet.C.It can survive without any water.D.It's the smallest animal in the desert.BDaban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10,000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some driedup rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.24.The first person setting foot in Loulan in the 20th century was ________.A.a European B.an AmericanC.a Chinese D.a Japanese25.Before Loulan disappeared, ________.A.there was no government in that areaB.people from America and Japan had been thereC.a lifeless area with lots of mounds could be easily seen thereD.much business between the East and the West had taken place there26.What can be inferred from the text?A.Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather there.B.Wars between the countries made Loulan disappear.C.Too many people gathered in Loulan and destroyed it.27.What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?A.Its pretty girls.B.Its developing business.C.Its mystery.D.Its beautiful scenery.CInternational pressure may be the only way to stop the Brazilian government from taking a “suicide” path in the Amazon, one of the country’s most respected scientists has said, as the world’s biggest rainforest continues to be destroyed by thousands of deliberate fires.The large number of fires— set illegally to clear and prepare land for crops, cattle and buildings– has resulted in the state of Amazonas to declare an emergency, created heavy smoke clouds that have drifted hundreds of miles, and raised international concerns about the destruction of a carbon sink, which refers to the use of plant photosynthesis (光合作用)to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.On Wednesday, the UK trade minister Conor Burns was shaking hands with his counterparts in Brasilia and declaring a desire to “deepen relations”. Asked about the fires, he declined to comment but reportedly said Bolsonaro’s government had ambitions to bring prosperity to its people.Scientists say the ongoing destruction will have serious consequences for Brazil and the world.Carlos Nobre, a senior researcher with the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo, said the increase in cutting down forests was taking the rainforest closer to a tipping point beyond which the usually humid forest would become an extremely dry place, with serious consequences for the climate, wildlife and forest creatures.Nobre said destruction of forests was on course to rise by 20-30% this year and was “very likely” to pass 10,000 sq km for the first time in more than 10 years. The trend has been worsening for several years, but it has accelerated under Bolsonaro, who has weakened the environment agency and expressed support for miners, farmers and loggers.Nobre表示,今年森林砍伐率预计将上升20-30%,并且很可能在十多年内首次超过10,000平方公里。

第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分) (略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A femal e college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possiblypassing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios suc h as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.1. What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?A. excitedB. overwhelmedC. addictedD. drunk2. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3. Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons. But the British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead. Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 ye ars ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. We don’t know what it meant or what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground. A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze.Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came, almost 300 years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us _______ .A.The dawn of history in BritainB.How English Channel was formedC.How the British made a living millions of years agoD.When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage “the man-made hill” probably refers to ___________ .A.The small islands in BritainB.Earthworks for protection and as tombsC.The amazing StonehengeD.The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground 3,000 years ago?A.Because iron tools were used for farmingB.Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC.Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD.Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after ________ do people have written records about Britain.A.the arrival of the CeltsB.Stonehenge was begunC.Pytheas’s visitD.the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park w here children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? .A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to s ee what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.A. anxious to do wonders.B. sensitive to others’ feelings.C. likely to develop unpleasant habits.D. eager to explore the world around them.13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they _______.A. are very patient in their observation.B. are really fascinated by nature.C. care only about the names of birds.D. question the accuracy of the field guides.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C. open our mind to new things and ideas.D. try our best to protect nature.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
