More than £5,500 has been raised after a plea last Monday by a vet Dr. Scott Miller. Scott said, “I would like to say a massive thank-you to express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been destroyed since the fire began in September. On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to leave the area as fires on the suburb threatened to spread. And so far, a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas. Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated, while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight. According to Scott, who has appeared on ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter, the mother is showing "great signs of improvement" and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery on his eye and is "recovering from the anesthetic and doing well". But the mother remains dehydrated so isn't producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they're being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother. Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Even more sadly, patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries. 【1】What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A.Dr. Scott donated more than £5,500. B.Residents were asked to return to Canberra. C.A large area of Britain has been destroyed. D.Numerous animals may have lost their lives. 【2】What did Dr. Scott do in his homeland? A.He worked hard in a field hospital on the island. B.He tried to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island. C.He hosted the ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter. D.He carefully looked after the mother and the baby koalas. 【3】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Separately. B.Seriously. C.Successfully. D.Sympathetically. 【4】What's the best title of the passage? A.An unexpected fire B.Generous donation C.Koalas' recovery D.Koala rescue |

Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode — it’s for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”. When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working. But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground. 【1】Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane? A.Because it will pose a threat to their safety. B.Because it can guarantee a better service. C.Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower. D.Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots. 【2】How many “built-in” expectations are mentioned to help make a call? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four. 【3】What can we infer from the passage? A.People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning. B.Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane. C.Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines. D.Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi. 【4】Where is the text most likely from? A.A newspaper. B.An official document. C.A guidebook. D.A science fiction story. |

Plant breeding is the science of changing the characteristics of plants in order to produce desired ones. Genes in a plant are what determine what type of characteristics it will have. Plant breeders try to create a specific outcome of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species. People all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat. There are many reasons for changing plants in this way. International development agencies believe that breeding new crops is important for ensuring food security by developing new varieties that are higher yielding, disease-resistant, drought-tolerant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. For example, some genetically engineered plants can live through frost or draught. As a result,farmers can make more profit because fewer plants will die. Some genetically engineered plants are more nutritious. They have less fat,taste better or stay fresher than non-genetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy better-quality fruit and vegetables. Some can resist natural pests and viruses spread by insects. This reduces the amount of chemical needed to kill pests, which is helpful to the environment. However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. They can also harm animals. A type of corn has been developed which kills a species of insect that destroys it. The pollen from this corn, however, can also kill monarch butterflies-the most beautiful of all butterflies, which do not harm the corn. Genetic engineering is a very new science and we have a lot to learn about the good it can do and the damage it can cause. The main concern is that not enough tests are being done to ensure it is safe. 【1】According to the passage, what is the purpose of plant breeding? A.To beautify the environment. B.To change the genes of plants. C.To produce preferable plant varieties. D.To assess the value of the practice. 【2】Why could plant breeding ensure food security? A.Because higher production is guaranteed. B.Because farmers can make more money. C.Because drought and frost hardly happen. D.Because food is of better quality. 【3】How can some genetically engineered plants benefit the environment? A.Some beautiful butterflies are killed. B.Less harmful chemicals are used. C.The food they produce taste better or stay fresher. D.They can adapt to different environments. 【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward plant breeding? A.Doubtful. B.Disapproving. C.Objective. D.Supportive. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Sophia frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco,having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a dumb idea," Sophia grumbled,mostly to herself. The girl had been joyless about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy,either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Sophia sighed and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening,Sophia' s parents were all smiling,welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Sophia was in a good mood as she rushed around,seating guests,handing out menus,and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Sophia' s age. As she filled their glasses,Sophia realized the twins were in her class,Emily and Jenny. Sophia ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face,and she turned away from the table. Sophia' s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers. ” “Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school!” “So?” her mother asked.“That's good! Go take them some fortune cookies and say hello!”She clucked her tongue disapprovingly at Sophia and disappeared out of the kitchen. Sophia frowned. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal,but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth, and absently read the fortune paper it held. “Many friends are found with a single smile,” it read. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sophia sighed. She put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sophia blushed and nodded. This girl knew her name? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
