Some deaths and serious injuries have been associated with them, however, raising concerns about their safety. especially for fragile and elderly riders.Statistically, a roller coaster is not very dangerous, especially if a rider is in good physical condition. Amusement park patrons are far more likely to die in accidents on the way to the park than they are to suffer injuries on a ride, assuming that the equipment is well maintained and run responsibly. Parks run many tests on their equipment to ensure that it is safe for use, including measurements designed to determine the g-forces that riders will be subject to.There are, however, a few instances in which riding a roller coaster may be unsafe. For all riders, riding equipment that is not well maintained is risky. Before riding, it is always a good idea for riders to inspect the equipment as much as possible. They should look for signs of rust, poor repair jobs, or dirt, suggesting that the roller coaster is not well cared for. Small children are especially at risk of falling out of cars with bars, due to their small size, so their guardians must make sure that they are completely and safely restrained.Roller coasters can also be dangerous for people with heart conditions. The sense of excitement that accompanies a ride is also accompanied by an elevated heart rate, which can cause a heart attack. People with known heart conditions should talk to a medical professional about riding any rough ride, because they may be unsafe.In addition, roller coasters have been linked with the appearance of blood clots（凝块）on the brain. This occurs very rarely, but it is linked with rides that subject patrons to high g-forces or instance where a passenger was whipped around as a result of poorly secured safety equipment. Individuals who take blood thinners should avoid such attractions for this reason, and anyone who experiences repeated headaches aftera ride should mention it to a healthcare provider.28. W hy does the author believe a roller coaster is not very dangerous?A. P atrons are usually in good health.B. P arks test it regularly to make it safe for use.C. O nly minor injuries happen on a ride.D. M ost deaths are resulted from road accidents.29. What should riders do before riding?A.Determine the g-forces they will bear.B. Receive a medical examination.C. Read the directions carefully.D. Check the equipment carefully.30. When your child wants to take a roller coaster, you should .A.make him or her safely restrainedB. talk to a medical professionalC. find a car that fits his or her sizeD. check the condition for bad signsA. have a headacheB. feel tiredC. are very nervousD. take blood thinnersDResearchers have developed a GPS-enabled aerial robot that flies out over large bodies of water to drop life preservers near people who are drowning.A working prototype of the robot, called Pars, was developed by RTS Lab, and Iran-based company, which also tested the machine's capabilities in open water. Over the course of four days in August of this year, the Pars development team visited the Caspian Sea to conduct a battery of tests on its brand new prototype. The location was chosen partly because it's been the site of several tragic drownings in the past few years* like the unpleasant incident of 6 students drowning together in July, 2019.The team tested the Pars' stability during flight, the accuracy of the life preserver release mechanism, and the bot's performance in both day and night time conditions, 'Gizmag' reported. According to the researchers at RTS Labs, the prototype bot met their expectations perfectly. The Pars was able to fly for 10 minutes at a top speed of 10 m/s before needing to recharge. This gives it a maximum range of 4. 5 km, making it ideal for emergencies occurring along coastlines and near ships at sea.treacherous（危险的）waters with ease. When conducting a trial rescue mission, the drone（无人驾驶飞机）was able to reach a target 75 m away and drop its payload in about 22 seconds, while a human lifeguard took 91 seconds to swim to the same location.During testing at night, the Pars was also able to illuminate（照亮）targets on the ground and make itself more visible to its controller on land using several bright LEDs. While the aerial bot cannot pull anyone to safety just yet, it could be sent out ahead of rescue crews to provide some initial aid.32. For what purpose do the researchers develop Pars?A. To make the work of lifeguards easier.B. To provide quick aid to drowningpeople.C. To pull drowning people to safety.D. To find drowning people for lifeguards.A. drowning accidents happened here a lotB.it is a good site for swimmingC. it has large open waterD.it is near the research center34. What can we infer from the Paragraph 3?A. Pars needed recharging too often.B. Pars couldn't fly over a long distance.C. Pars can only be used near coastlines.D. The researchers were happy with Pars' performance.35.What does the underlined part "flesh and blood counterparts" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Normal robots.B. Swimmers.C. Human lifeguards.D. Drowning people.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。

The Special and the Ordinary．BIt was a dinner party from hell（地狱）．Not because of the lovely guests．The problem was that they were all experts in cooking．And they were all waiting for a pudding（布丁）I had cooked for them．I lifted my spoon high above the poached（水煮）peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach．Instead the spoon bent at the neck．The fruit was hard，even though it had been cooked for an hour．It was my stupid mistake．Over the past two years or so，I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs （厨师）．I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me．Little did I know what I was letting myself in for．The starter was a French onion pie．It's a classic dish and would be a test of my skills．And it's the only cooked starter I know how to do．Next，the main course．My wife suggested doing the lamb（羔羊肉）thing first．I agreed ．It' s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat，it's still a pleasure．The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread，tomatoes，olives and so on．The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink，which fortunately it did．As to the pudding，I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream．There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks．What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability？"With all good dinner parties，as with the best restaurants，the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my host's generosity．And the food？As it happens ，it was really rather good---should have had a cheese course though．And the plates could have been hotter．"4.What did the author mean by saying it was "a dinner party from hell"？______A.

He had bought fruit out of seasonCEvery year，about 75，000 Great White Pelicans fly away from Eastern Europe's cold winter to East Africa，where they spend the summer．It's a long journey and the main stop is in Israel．The Great White Pelican is a huge bird．It's thelargest bird in the world to make such a long journey．Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1.4 kilos each day．The pelicans love to gather in large numbers．Until recent years，there were plenty of water supplies （供给）in Israel．Frequently，the pelicans arrive in Israel tired．They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested．However，for a variety of reasons，these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources．Fish farming has become big business in Israel．As you may imagine，a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of! In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through，Israel's fish farmers began to lose tons of fish．Some farms were even forced to close their business．Something had to be done．The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully．How could it stop 75，000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel？It decided this was not possible．It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water，and provided money for local farmers to buy food，which they fed to the pelicans．The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest．They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food．It's a solution that seems to have worked．At one point，it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money．One criticism （批评）was that with so much food，the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive．However，there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains．Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight，and tourism can bring new income to the country．8.What can we learn about Great White Pelicans？______A. They are loners．B. They winter in Israel．C. They are good at long-distance flying．D. They reduce their intake during their journey．9.What problem did the fish farmers face？______A.

They suffered a heavy loss of fish．10.What measures did the government take？______A. They prevented the pelicans stopping in Israel．B. They encouraged farmers to develop tourism．C. They gave farmers money to farm more fish．D. They found a new place for the pelicans．11.What is the author's attitude to the pelicans in Israel？______A. Optimistic．B. Unclear．C. Doubtful．D. Unconcerned．DNo one can deny （否认）that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money ---but no one can deny that he hasn't earned it either．He's broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson．He's a talent（天才）．Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to --- training，traveling，and pushing themselves to the limit．And while their lives may seem glamorous，think about this ：Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing．In fact，many retired（退休的）athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies．Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle．The toll （代价）a professional athlete's career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain （and medical bills）；it also means a short career．Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play．Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry，many jobs wouldn't exist．Sports reporters，stadium workers，cheerleaders，and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment．It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game，but remember who they are really playing for：us．We're the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games，who crowd around the television to cheer them on，and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins．The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us．Shouldn't it pay off for them too？12.What does the underlined word "glamorous" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？______A.

AFrom my hotel room window, I see an oversized billboard with his face on it: Jason, the Great Magician.I absent-mindedly turn the pages of the phone book and come across a city map. Sipping my iced latté, I run my fingers along the streets from the hotel to the opera hall. Not more than a half-hour walk.I glance at the clock. The show starts in one hour. Plenty of time! I gulp the last three sips of my latté and hop in the shower. Soon I’m on my way to the show, carrying a fancy black handbag and a genuine smile. ,The billboard looks even more impressive from outside. The Great Jason's eyes seem to be glancing through me.I shiver and walk faster. I feel like a child about to open her birthday presents.The hall is dark when I come in; the show is about to begin. I make my way backstage just as the great magician puts on his top hat.''Daddy, I'm so glad to see you, '' I say in a half-whisper. ''I'm in town for the writer’s workshop, but I just couldn't miss your show. '' I give him a quick hug and go back into the seating area, leaving him with a startled smile. I settle down in the darkness, and the curtains open.Magically that show remains the Great Jason's best performance to this day.1. The underlined sentence indicates the writer is . .A. embarrassed and hesitantB. brave and determinedC. nervous and excitedD. surprised and frightened2. Why was the writer in town?A. To go to the workshop.B. To visit the magician.C. To enjoy the performance.D. To help people in need.3. Who is Jason?A. The person the writer will work with.B. The father of the writer.C. The greatest performer everD. The unknown magician.BWhen she was studying to become a scientist, Megan Strauss rode in a small airplane to study giraffes. While a pilot flew over the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa, the researchers looked down carefully and counted giraffes."I am always amazed how easily we can spot warthogs and other small animals, yet we sometimes have trouble seeing giraffes. Giraffes are slender in shape, and they may not throw a good shadow, " says Dr. Strauss, who has since become a wildlife scientist.The Serengeti is about the size of Vermont, a state in the northeastern US, so the scientists could not study the entire area. Instead, they surveyed three areas where giraffes were studied in the 1970s. As they expected, they saw far fewer of these animals.To find out if lions had been killing more giraffes in recent years, the team looked at the survival of young giraffes. Lions kill more young giraffes than adults, but the team found no decrease in young giraffes' survival after they are born, compared with the 1970s.The team then looked at whether too many giraffes were being killed by parasites(寄生虫).The researchers counted parasite eggs in giraffe droppings, and they found too few to harm the giraffe population.They looked into whether poachers (盗猎者)were killing too many giraffes. Two of the areas they studied are where giraffe meat is sometimes sold in local markets. Poachers catch more adult males than other giraffes. Researchers spotted too few males compared with females in those two areas, a sign of poaching.When the food supply is short, the environment supports fewer giraffes and the females have fewer young giraffes. A lot of new trees have grown in the Serengeti, but many are a type that giraffes do not like to eat. Theresearchers found fewer young giraffes today than in the 1970s compared with the number of adult females, a sign that food was in short supply.Dr. Strauss is working on an environmental education program for Tanzania including books for students. These materials will educate Tanzanians and help them to help giraffes. As knowledge grows and changes are made, they hope the giraffe population will increase.4. What did Dr. Strauss find while studying giraffes in the Serengeti?A. It was too costly to study giraffes.B. It was hard to spot giraffes from the air.C. The number of giraffes had increased slowly.D. Giraffes lived in smaller areas than in the 1970s.5. How did the team study the lion-giraffe relationship?A. By analyzing giraffe droppings.B. By comparing young giraffes with adults.C. By comparing male giraffes and females.D. By surveying the survival of young giraffes.6. What is Dr. Strauss doing to help giraffes?A. She is founding a national park in Tanzania.B. She is counting giraffes in the entire Serengeti.C. She is educating students to write about giraffes.D. She is raising environmental awareness in local people.CWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap，durable(耐用的)，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not，is transparent(透明的). Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology，the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the wood's lignin(木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.,While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chipshe transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed theirfindings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more naturallight, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund alsothinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would beable to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up themanufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.7. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.8. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.9. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood's hardness.C. The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.D. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about？A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood's role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers' carbon footprint.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。

AWith these tips you can finally get a solid night's sleep.Reserve Your BedGet into bed just for sleeping. Avoid working, paying bills, reading, or watching television in bed. If you associate your bed only with sleep, you’ll be more likely to fall asleep.Watch the Caffeine(咖啡因)Too much caffeine throughout the day can cause interrupted sleep. Limit yourself to two cups of tea, coffee, or cola, taken at least 6 hours before bedtime.Tap the Exercise AnswerIn a study from Stanford University School of Medicine, a group of 50- to 76-year-olds who had complained of sleep problems began proper exercise for about half an hour four times a week. Compared with a similar group of people who didn’t exercise, the more active group slept an average of one hour more each night, took less time to fall asleep.Take a BathTake a warm bath an hour or two before bed. Your body temperature will slowly drop after you get out of the tub（浴盆）, making you feel tired. Don’t bathe right before bed, however, because it can briefly stimulate you enough to make it hard to fall asleep.Buy the Right BedA bed that’s too soft can cause poor sleep. Replace your mattress(床垫)if it’s more than ten years old, and buy one that’s as firm as you can tolerate but still comfortable.If 30 minutes go by and you haven’t fallen asleep, don’t lie in bed feeling frustrated. Get up and do something relaxing.1. Which of the following is the best choice if one wants to have a good sleep?A . Drinking as much coffee as possible.B . Buying a beautiful and soft bed.C . Watching TV in bed before going to sleep.D. Taking a warm bath an hour or two before bed.2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?A . tired B. excited C. interested D. encouraged3. What is the best title for the passage?A. Take a bath before sleepingB. The importance of a good sleepC. Tips for a good sleepD. How to buy the best bedBI must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind, don't you?""Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa."I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. "Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!" she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.4. When the author spoke out what was on his mind, his grandmother______.A. supported himB. laughed at himC. had no confidence in himD. felt quite surprised5. The author probably realized his first dream at the age of ______.A. 20B. 22C. 25D. 286. What will the author tell us in the part following the passage?A. His efforts in helping the African children.B. His hard training in preparing for the next Olympics.C. His successes at other Olympic games.D. His grandmother’s attitude towards him.7. The whole passage is mainly about ______.A. a young boy who had many dreamsB. the encouragement from a grandmotherC. a sportsman who realized his first dream of helping African childrenD. an Olympic hero who made a difference in the worldCPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle.”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29% in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction of 11% in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇) and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expe rt at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts anda lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.8. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most from eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.9. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. CancerB. Unknown.C. Stomach diseaseD. Heart disease10. The writer developed the article mainly by__________________.A. the order of timeB. specific examplesC. listing dataD. comparing the difference11. Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science sectionB. Health sectionC. Entertainment sectionD. Tech sectionDThe world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction（灭绝）, threatening a “catast rophic collapse(崩溃）of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web, they pollinate(给…传授花粉） the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we hu mans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”12．What does “are hurtling down ”underlined mean?A．To climb very slow in a straight directionB．To move very fast in a particular direction.C．To become lower in value or level quicklyD．To speed up suddenly in a particular direction13．According to the passage what caused the declines of the insects EXCEPT?A．Intensive agriculture B．UrbanizationC．Climate change D．Pests control.14．In paragraph 4, the author wants to stress the decline of insects A．by giving the examples B．by making the comparisonC．by giving the definition. D．by making the explanation15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten damage of nature.B．The impacts will be brought by the insect loss.C．The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.D．The leading factors cause insects decline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。

The Special and the Ordinary．BIt was a dinner party from hell（地狱）．Not because of the lovely guests．The problem was that they were all experts in cooking．And they were all waiting for a pudding（布丁）I had cooked for them．I lifted my spoon high above the poached（水煮）peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach．Instead the spoon bent at the neck．The fruit was hard，even though it had been cooked for an hour．It was my stupid mistake．Over the past two years or so，I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs （厨师）．I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me．Little did I know what I was letting myself in for．The starter was a French onion pie．It's a classic dish and would be a test of my skills．And it's the only cooked starter I know how to do．Next，the main course．My wife suggested doing the lamb（羔羊肉）thing first．I agreed．It' s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat，it's still a pleasure．The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread，tomatoes，olives and so on．The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink，which fortunately it did．As to the pudding，I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream．There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks．What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability？"With all good dinner parties，as with the best restaurants，the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my host's generosity．And the food？As it happens，it was really rather good---should have had a cheese course though．And the plates could have been hotter．"4.What did the author mean by saying it was "a dinner party from hell"？______A.

He had bought fruit out of seasonCEvery year，about 75，000 Great White Pelicans fly away from Eastern Europe's cold winter to East Africa，where they spend the summer．It's a long journey and the main stop is in Israel．The Great White Pelican is a huge bird．It's thelargest bird in the world to make such a long journey．Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1.4 kilos each day．The pelicans love to gather in large numbers．Until recent years，there were plenty of water supplies （供给）in Israel．Frequently，the pelicans arrive in Israel tired．They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested．However，for a variety of reasons，these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources．Fish farming has become big business in Israel．As you may imagine，a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of! In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through，Israel's fish farmers began to lose tons of fish．Some farms were even forced to close their business．Something had to be done．The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully．How could it stop 75，000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel？It decided this was not possible．It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water，and provided money for local farmers to buy food，which they fed to the pelicans．The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest．They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food．It's a solution that seems to have worked．At one point，it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money．One criticism （批评）was that with so much food，the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive．However，there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains．Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight，and tourism can bring new income to the country．8.What can we learn about Great White Pelicans？______A. They are loners．B. They winter in Israel．C. They are good at long-distance flying．D. They reduce their intake during their journey．9.What problem did the fish farmers face？______A.

They suffered a heavy loss of fish．10.What measures did the government take？______A. They prevented the pelicans stopping in Israel．B. They encouraged farmers to develop tourism．C. They gave farmers money to farm more fish．D. They found a new place for the pelicans．11.What is the author's attitude to the pelicans in Israel？______A. Optimistic．B. Unclear．C. Doubtful．D. Unconcerned．DNo one can deny （否认）that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money ---but no one can deny that he hasn't earned it either．He's broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson．He's a talent（天才）．Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to --- training，traveling，and pushing themselves to the limit．And while their lives may seem glamorous，think about this ：Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing．In fact，many retired（退休的）athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies．Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle．The toll （代价）a professional athlete's career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain （and medical bills）；it also means a short career．Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play．Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry，many jobs wouldn't exist．Sports reporters，stadium workers，cheerleaders，and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment．It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game，but remember who they are really playing for：us．We're the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games，who crowd around the television to cheer them on，and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins．The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us．Shouldn't it pay off for them too？12.What does the underlined word "glamorous" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？______A.
