A
I took a trip to Antarctica last December.My favourite moment in Antarctica was the one I enjoyed in Wilhelmina Bay.
Wilhelmina Bay was extremely large in size.But after we got into our kayaks(皮艇),we realised what made this part of Antarctica special at least on the day of our visit.
Kayak cruises are like adventures,if there's a good wildlife sighting around,the driver radios the other boats and tells them to come and see it.Throughout Antarctica you would see the kayaks gather in the same place to watch a whale,or a group of seals,or some cartoon-like Adelie penguins.
But in Wilhelmina Bay,it seemed like every kayak had its own group of whales to watch.They were everywhere!We had plenty of them getting close to us.Then one got a little too close.All of a sudden,it rose in front of our kayaks.This wasn't the “l(fā)ogging” where they gently rise and fall—thiswhale knew exactly what he was doing.
We were shocked.It was so close.Was it going to fall on us?It happened so quickly that I didn't get a chance to take a photo.Thankfully there were some kayaks on the other side,getting shots of what we later called “the moment the drysuits became not so dry”.
“I'm always surprised at what we see,but I'm not often impressed,” our kayaking guide Michael told us.“The only thing better than that would have been,like,if a killer whale jumped out of the water right over the kayaks.”

This new packaging material looks like conventional plastic,but it's actually made from fish waste and algae(海藻)—and unlike plastic,if it escapes into the ocean,a fish could likely eat it safely.The material,called Marina Tex,is the winner of this year's James Dyson Award.
“It began with my desire to work with waste,” says Lucy Hughes,a recent graduate from University of Sussex,who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and find new ways to use it.She focused on fish skin and scales (鱗片).“When I had it in my hands,I realised this has got potential,”she says.It's super strong and flexible.Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen,running more than 100 experiments to find a binder and a process that could hold together the proteins in the fish skin and scales.“I had a lot of failed attempts—a lot of things either were too easily broken or too soft or easily went bad,” she says.She finally landed on a type of algae that can be locally got.
The material can be used to replace oil-based plastic in packaging such as bags or the half transparent windows used to show products in boxes.As her research continues,Hughes says that she'll be studying how Marina Tex works and how long it could be used to store food.
Unlike some “compostable” plastic which needs to be processed in an industrial composting facility to break down,the new material can break down in four to six weeks in a backyard compost bin.“All the ingredients are food-grade safe,”Hughes says.“So,this breaks down much like a piece of food would break down.”
4.Why did Hughes develop Marina Tex?
A.She wanted to look for a new plastic.
B.She would like to eat fish safely.
C.She wanted to win James Dyson Award.
D.She wanted to make use of fish skin and scales.

6.What is the main advantage of Marina Tex compared with conventional plastic?
A.It is stronger and more flexible.
B.It can be used as plastic bags.
C.It has the nutritional value for fish.
D.It can break down very easily and quickly.
答案D

Just a year ago,the colours were bright under the waves.Now it's gray — the Maldivian reef is dead.The coral is killed by the pressure of rising temperatures.
Coral reefs are areas underwater where small creatures live.The coral is hard material formed on the bottom of the sea by the skeletons of those creatures.But the world has lost about half its coral reefs in the last 30 years.Scientists are working to prevent their destruction.Due to global warming,over 90 percent of corals are expected to die by 2050.“To lose coral reefs is to fundamentally undermine the health of a very large proportion of the human race,” said Ruth Gates,director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
Why are coral reefs important?Coral reefs support a fourth of all marine species,as well as half a billion people worldwide.They serve as barriers to protect coastlines from the storms.They provide billions of dollars from tourism,fishing and other trade.They are also used in medical research for cures for diseases.“Everyone should be concerned,” said biologist Ove Guldberg at Australia's University of Queensland.“This is not just some distant dive destination.This is the basic structure of the ecosystem we depend on.”
The ocean is getting warmer.A rising temperature of just one to two degree Celsius can force coral to expel the algae(驅(qū)逐海藻) that live there.This leaves their white skeletons uncovered.It is a process called “bleaching”.Sixteen percent of the world's corals died of bleaching in 1998.The problem has become much worse in recent years.
“We've lost 50 percent of the reefs,but that means we still have 50 percent left,” said Ruth Gates,who is working in Hawaii to breed corals that can better withstand increasing temperatures.She is also trying to “train” corals to survive rising temperatures.Gates says it is time to start “thinking outside the box”— find creative ways to help them.
8.The underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 2 means “ ”.?
A.weaken B.regain
C.promote D.overlook
答案A
解析詞義猜測題。第三段中的“Whyarecoralreefsimportant?Coralreefssupportafourthofallmarinespecies,...Theyarealsousedinmedicalresearchforcuresfordiseases.”敘述了珊瑚礁對人類的重要之處。由此推知,失去珊瑚礁會危害人類的健康。weaken“(使)變?nèi)?削弱”;regain“恢復(fù)”;promote“促進(jìn);提升”;overlook“忽略”。故選A項。
9.What's the major concern of the scientists like Ove Guldberg?
A.People won't find a dive destination in the future.
B.The effort to save corals will turn out to be fruitless.
C.The destruction of coral reefs will affect the earth ecosystem.
D.The bright sea has lost its charm because of those dead corals.
答案C
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中OveGuldberg所說的“...Thisisthebasicstructureoftheecosystemwedependon.”可知,珊瑚礁是我們所依賴的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的基本結(jié)構(gòu)。由此可以推知,失去珊瑚礁就會破壞生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。故選C項。
10.The fourth paragraph is mainly about .?
A.the harm of algae
B.the process of “bleaching”
C.the importance of coral reefs
D.the change of ocean temperature
答案B
解析主旨大意題。第四段提道:海洋變得暖和了。氣溫上升到一兩度就能迫使珊瑚驅(qū)逐那里的藻類。這就使它們的白色骨骼顯露了出來。這是一個叫作“漂白”的過程。1998年,世界上16%的珊瑚死于漂白。最近幾年,這個問題變得更加糟糕了。很明顯,這一段主要介紹了珊瑚礁漂白的過程。故選B項。
11.Ruth Gates' attitude towards the protection of corals is .?
A.proud B.cautious
C.optimistic D.casual
答案C
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“‘We'velost50percentofthereefs,butthatmeanswestillhave50percentleft,'saidRuthGates...Sheisalsotryingto ‘train'coralstosurviverisingtemperatures.”可知,RuthGates正在夏威夷努力培育能夠更好地抵御不斷升高的溫度的珊瑚。她還試圖“訓(xùn)練”珊瑚以便它們可以在不斷上升的溫度下生存下來。由她所說的話以及她所做的努力來看,她對于保護(hù)珊瑚礁是樂觀的、充滿信心的。故選C項。
D
Almost everyone has heard the expression,“the calm before the storm”.It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.
British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s.They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static(平靜的) and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm?
A calm period occurs because many storms,tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and wet air from the surrounding area.As the air rises into the storm clouds,it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm,like petrol in a car”.Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air,it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level.As the air goes down,it becomes warm and dry.Warm and dry air is stable,so once it covers an area,it causes a calm period before the storm.
This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes.In these conditions,the calm occurs in the centre of the storm because of the strong circling winds.
The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder,roughly three seconds equal one kilometre.So,for example,if you count nine seconds,the storm is about three kilometres away.A good judge is that if your count is below 30 seconds,you should seek shelter straight away.
However,due to the complexity of storm system,not all storms are proceeded (領(lǐng)先) by calm.Given the right conditions,some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and cold winds.So,your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area.That's the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature's temper.
12.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A.How a storm comes into being.
B.Why research is done on storm clouds.
C.Why a peaceful period occurs before a storm.
D.How dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.
答案C
解析主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Acalmperiodoccursbecausemanystorms,tornadoesandhurricanesdrawinallthewarmandwetairfromthesurroundingarea.”以及下文可知,第三段主要告訴我們?yōu)槭裁幢╋L(fēng)雨前會有一段平靜的時期。故選C項。
13.How far away is the storm if you count 18 seconds between a lightning flash and a thunder clap?
A.Three kilometres. B.Four kilometres.
C.Five kilometres. D.Six kilometres.
答案D
解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“TheWeatherNetworkhasatipforworkingouthowfarawayastormis.Firstcounthowmanysecondstherearebetweenaflashoflightningandaclapofthunder,roughlythreesecondsequalonekilometre.”可知,三秒等于一公里,則18秒等于6公里。故選D項。
14.What can we learn from the text?
A.Storms have a big influence on life.
B.It is not always quiet before a storm.
C.Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.
D.Heavy storms don't usually last for a long time.
答案B
解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However,duetothecomplexityofstormsystem,notallstormsareproceededbycalm.”可知,暴風(fēng)雨前并非總是寧靜的。故選B項。
15.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A science report. B.A weather report.
C.A touring guide. D.An advertisement.
答案A
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容為解釋說明暴風(fēng)雨來臨前的寧靜的原因,以及如何計算風(fēng)暴距離可推測文章選自一份科學(xué)報告。故選A項。

Hello,everyone.
It's a great honour for me to make a speech about the protection of sea creatures.The past few years have witnessed a rapid reduction in the number of sea creatures,some even being in danger of extinction.There are various reasons behind this.To begin with,people are not aware of the importance of protecting the marine environment,so large quantities of pollutants have been poured into the ocean.Besides,some people hunt illegally for profit,which results in a decrease in the types of sea creatures.Therefore,it's high time that we should take some effective measures to protect them.
That's all.Thanks for listening!

A.J.shut the door of the truck.“Ready,” he said.His dad started the truck.It was six o'clock and freezing,but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures.It had been colder than normal over the past week,and the ground and ponds were already frozen.
“After we check on the cows,” Dad said,“you should have some time to practise roping cattle.” A.J.wanted to enter the rodeos(牛仔競技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses,and caught cattle with ropes.
The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback,rope a calf(小牛),and hog-tie(捆綁) the calf in less than ten seconds.So far,A.J.needed nearly a minute and a half,but he'd only been at it for a few months.
The truck bounced down the dirt road.In a few minutes,they passed through the field gate.
A.J.pulled a pair of telescopes.The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape.The cows gathered around the pond.A.J.guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice.Suddenly,they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow.Dad stopped the truck,and he and A.J.stared at the frozen pond anxiously.
A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond.A cow,no doubt the calf's mother,stood onshore,shouting desperately.The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.
The morning sun seemed warmer.A.J.knew that the situation was urgent.If the calf lay there too long,she could fall through the ice and drown.Dad eased the truck down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond.“No telling how long she's been there,” he said.“The ice could be about to melt.I don't think we can risk it.” Dad shook his head,“It's just not safe.”

A.J.watchedthecalf,whoseeyeswerewidewithfear.Though frightened,the calf gathered all her strength to get up but slipped over and over again.Seeing the danger,the mother cow let out shouts with horror and cast helpless glances at A.J.and his dad as if begging them for help.An atmosphere of sadness blanketing the whole world,every nerve in A.J.'s body screamed at him that he must save the poor calf.All of a sudden,an idea came into his mind like a flash.
Itwouldbejustlikerodeopractice,A.J.thought,tryingtostaycalm.He rushed to the truck to grab the rope quickly,aimed it at the calf and let it go.Luckily,he made it at the first attempt!With palms sweating,he and his dad struggled to pull the calf out of the frozen pond.After what seemed like a century,they managed to save the calf.Seeing the calf running to her mother happily,A.J.felt comforted and glad that what he had learnt helped save a life.
