I went to Costa Rica for three months to work for a conservation project for marine turtle(海龟). The project takes place on the Caribbean coast in a wildlife reserve in Gandoca。It is a very remote place, close to the border with Panama. Basically, the work was to keep watching every night to find the turtles coming out. Once we found a turtle, we had to collect the eggs to bring them to one of our two hatcheries (孵化所).We also had to measure the turtle, keep a sign on their body and check if they have any injuries. Another part of the work was the hatchery duty. The people in the hatchery had the responsibility for preventing any animals or people getting in it. When the first babies began to hatch, they had to take care of the babies. I must say that sometimes it was hard. Not the work itself, but the mosquitoes, and the fact that we could never have a complete night of sleep or that we had to keep watching even if it was raining. And it rains a lot on the Caribbean coast. But that’s not so important. Working on this project was a wonderful experience. First of all, we had the unique opportunity to meet the leatherback turtle, which is an endangered species. It's a really impressive animal. The female inspires a sort of respect, because she is so heavy and the effort she has to do to go out of the water to lay her eggs is incredible. I fell in love with them really. Then, working in the reserve was also a chance to practice my Spanish, not only with the Spanish-speaking people among the other research assistants, but also with people of the community. The contact with all the volunteers was great too. We were all there to share the same experience. Everyone was a part of it and we shared strong emotions and feelings together. I will never forget it and know that I will get in touch with some of them for a long time. Last but not least, Gandoca is a paradise on earth一the beautiful beach, deep rainforest, lots of animals, peaceful atmosphere and so on. I hope that many other people will have the opportunity to live this experience and all I want to add is to go there! 【1】What is the main idea of the text? A.Voluntary experiences in Gandoca. B.Happy contact with other volunteers. C.Ways to hatch turtle eggs into baby turtles. D.Duty in the wildlife reserve. 【2】What did volunteers have to do? A.Collect the turtle eggs from the hatcheries. B.Mark the turtles and check them up. C.Keep strangers getting in the hatchery. D.Keep a record of the turtles’ activities. 【3】What does author think of the work in the reserve? A.Difficult and tiresome. B.Difficult but wonderful. C.lonely and tiring. D.Interesting and comfortable. 【4】What does the author encourage us to do at the end of the text? A.To have a look at the paradise. B.To enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. C.To talk with the native people. D.To take part in the project. |

GE’s Bill Run nas a message for anyone who’s confused or doubtful about the company’s new focus on the" Industrial Internet’.The long story made short is that the amount of data being produced by industrial machine” is going to be more than anything you’re ever seen” , and analyzing this data is going to make everyone’s life easier. Take gas turtbine (涡轮机）at power plants for example. “We’re almost putting a data center on a gas turbine,” Ruh said during a session at GigaOM’s Mobilize conference on Wednesday morning，referring to the hundreds of sensors(传感器）the company is placing on those machines to get data. If those sensors, combined with anyone’s software for managing and analyzing the data, are able to improve efficiency by just one percent, they could save nearly $6 billion a year. Think about the air travel. Forty-one percent of unplanned downtime for airlines is caused by mechanical errors, Ruh explained, so GE wants to be able to predict when its engines or other airline systems will fail. With this knowledge, carriers can fix problems during scheduled downtime and save everyone's precious time. Speaking of sensors, Ruh noted just how much potentially predictive data they’re getting. “Using a sensor,” he said,“we could get hundred terabytes(百万兆字节）a day.” However, he acknowledged that the great effects of the Industrial Internet—cost savings, carbon-footprint reductions and efficiency gains—will come with changes in the employment sector that might not be good for everyone involved. ‘‘Some new kinds of jobs that don’t exist today will get created，”Ruh said. “It takes time and energy for people to get adapted to it.” 【1】Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.The Industrial Internet—a new kind of machine. B.The Industrial Internet—a large amount of data. C.The Industrial Internet一another name for the Internet. D.The Industrial Internet一a way to get data by sensors. 【2】The underlined word “downtime’’in Paragraph 3 most probably means_______. A.the time during which you are upset B.the time during which you have nothing to do C.the time during which a machine is not working D.the time during which the price is very low 【3】Which of the following shows how the Industrial Internet works? A.Data—sensors—high efficiency. B.Machines—sensors—high efficiency. C.Sensors一data一high efficiency. D.Sensors一machines一high efficiency. 【4】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the Industrial Internet? A.More jobs will disappear. B.It brings along some disadvantages. C.Changes will not appear in employment. D.Everyone can adapt to new jobs immediately. |

YORK HARBOUR, Newfoundland 一 A balloonist who tried to cross the Atlantic Ocean using hundreds of helium-filled balloons is heading home after landing in Newfoundland, far short of his goal. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Friday that it used a helicopter to collect US balloonist Jonathan Trappe from the remote area where he landed a night earlier. “It’s not the destination I set out for, but it’s kind of the way with real adventure. Adventure isn’t what you planned on, it’s what you find，and that’s what we have today，’’he told the CBC. Trappe landed safely near York Harbour after reporting that he was having trouble controlling his balloons Thursday evening, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Instead of using a conventional hot-air balloon, Trappe was using more than 300 colorful helium-filled balloons, like those used in the animated movie”Up “. He lifted off on Thursday morning from Caribou, Maine，in hopes of becoming the first person to cross the Atlantic using a bunch of helium balloons. But he ran into trouble as he approached Newfoundland and was in communication with a search and rescue center in Halifax; Nova Scotia, said Lt. Steve Henley of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Stephenville. The balloonist's movements were tracked by radar by Canadian officials, he said. He told CBC that his calculations indicated he wasn’t going to make it to Europe so he decided to set down on land before crossing over open ocean, where a water landing would have been more dangerous. He said the landing had its hairy moments because he was coming in fast. “We set out on this expedition for the adventure, and we got the adventure.”Trappe said. Trappe will likely have to meet with Canada Border Service Agency before being allowed to return to the U. S. , officials said. The North Carolina native said he'd worked on the trans-Atlantic crossing for two years, and there was no stranger to use bunches of balloons. He’d once used them to lift a artifcial house, as in the Disney-Pixar movie, and he’d used them to cross the English Channel. By Thursday afternoon, he was well on his way, heading toward Newfoundland. But a couple of hours later，he ended his adventure. “This doesn’t look like France,’’he posted on Facebook. 【1】What can we learn about Jonadian Trappe according to the text? A.It was not until Thursday evening that he was collected by a helicopter. B.He was going on the adventure trip with much help of the U. S. departments. C.If he had used the hot-air balloon, he would definitely have reached his goal. D.Even though he didn’t achieve success, he thought it was a worthy adventure. 【2】Jonathan Trappe took the adventure trip because_________. A.he got reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp B.he was inspired by his favorite stars in the Disney-Pixar movie C.he'd like to be the first to cross the Atlantic in a helium-balloon D.he’d like to be well-known for a balloon flight across the world 【3】Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “hairy’’in meaning? A.Discouraging. B.Frightening. C.Having hair. D.Made of hair. |

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities.【1】 Researchers have identified several factors(因素)that motivate people to get involved in the volunteer work. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to enrich experiences, and to strengthen social relationships.【2】To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract. 【3】To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory voluteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can change people’s wish of participation from an internal factor(e. g.，”I volunteer because it’s important to me”）to an external factor (e. g.，“I volunteer because I’m required to do so”）【4】 People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must. 【5】After some follow-up studies, it was assumed that those people for whom the role of voluteer was most part of their personal identity would be most likely to continue volunteer work The result leads to concrete advice ：” Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity ••• Items like T-shirts that allow volurteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity. A. How should we study volunteer behaviors? B. Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. C. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. D. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. E. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. F. Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? G. To do so, it should help to understand why people volunteer and what keeps their interest. |
