Some people call them flying r

10、ats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London

11、-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed

12、about the pollution they re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby, on a windy hill in Londons Regents Park, an experiment is underway that could helpthe first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director

13、for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the

14、 people around me didnt know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his f

15、irst thought. But its illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They liveactually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly p

16、retty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the citys air.1、What can we infer about Londons air quality from Paragraph 2?ALondoners are very satisfied with it.BThe government is trying

17、 to improve it.CLondoners should pay more attention to it.DThe government has done a lot to improve it.2、Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _.Aentertain Londoners.Bsolve a world problem.Cdesign a product for sale.Dprotect animals like pigeons.3、Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to

18、 fly across London?ABecause they are too expensive.BBecause they fly too quickly.CBecause they are forbidden.DBecause they fly too high.4、Which can be the best title for the text?AClean air in London.BLondons dirty secret.CLondons new pollution fighter.DCauses of air pollution in London.22（8分）Dos an

19、d Donts in Whale (鯨) WatchingThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel (船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Appr

20、oach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel Leave the area slo

21、wly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales. When whales

22、are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure

23、 to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales. Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.1、For whom is this text written?ATour guides. BGovernment officials.CWhale watchers. DVessel operato

24、rs.2、When leaving the observation areas, the vessel should .Amove close to the beach Bincrease speed graduallyCkeep its engine running slowly Dremain at the back of the whales23（8分） Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or

25、French or Swahili, we dont have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh,

26、I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such

27、as, “Here comes Mary,” “How did you do on the test?” or “Do you have a rubber band?” These certainly arent jokes.We believe laughter evolved from the panting (喘氣的) behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle (使發(fā)癢) chimps, they dont laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. Thats

28、the sound of ape laughter, and its the root of human laughter.Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and

29、when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. Theres a difference between “l(fā)aughing with” and “l(fā)aughing at”. People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.No one has actually counted how much

30、people of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evol

31、ved, and why were so susceptible to tickling.1、What was the purpose of the decades research?ATo prove that people laugh because of humour.BTo find out the real reason for people s laughter.CTo research people s different reaction on jokes.DTo record conversations among shoppers in malls.2、What can w

32、e learn from the text?APeople who play more tend to laugh more.BApes produce high sounds when tickled.CScientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.DThe situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.3、What does the underlined word “susceptib

33、le” in the last paragraph probably mean?ASensitive.BFlexible.CAddictive.DReliable.4、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?AThe Impact of LaughterBThe Meaning of LaughterCA Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?DLaughter: The Most Beautiful Words24（8分） At 88, my grandmother Vera has deme

34、ntia and barely recognizes me. But Im determined to help her age with dignity and grace in her home for as long as she can.Since 2015, Ive been a manager at Honor, a technology company that uses a website and an app to pair professional caregivers (we call them Care Pros) with loved ones who need a

35、hand. I want to make sure we are offering all our clients (客戶), including my grandmother, a service that is affordable, with people who are reliable, diverse and skilled. On Sundays. Amy, my grandmothers most-loved Honor professional caregiver, comes over to get her dressed for church. She loves the

36、 time she spends with Amy. Thats the best gift I can give her and the best gift I can give myself. Care giving can exhaust a family emotionally and physically. At Honor, were trying to create something that makes it easier for women to be moms, daughters, and sisters all at once. Thats why this comp

37、any was built.What sets Honor apart from other care giving services is that were equally focused on treating the Care Pros well. We pay higher-than-average rates and they can get health benefits and sick leave. Most of our Care Pros are women, and a lot of them arc single mothers. The technology beh

38、ind our app allows Care Pros to set parameters (參數(shù)) based on when, where, and how much they want to work so they can control their schedules. The company also allows continuity of care. Each Care Pro notes in the caregivers app how the client is feeling or what should happen on the following shift.

39、That way, the clients family can stay up to date on their loved ones health.When I was working with my team at Honor, I wanted to create opportunities for people who looked like me. Im proud to say that there are single moms and other women without traditional educational training who lead teams her

40、e. The makeup of this company proves that people with diverse backgrounds can be part of a successful tech company. This has to be a model for the future.Im confident it will happen.1、The author mentions Amy to _.Ashare a precious memoryBadvocate caring for the elderlyCshow the importance of caregiv

41、ersDinform the readers of a touching story2、Which of the following about Honor is true?AIt allows flexible working schedules.BIt gives higher salary and more paid leave.CIt mainly employs single mothers and males.DIt matches caregivers with clients at random.3、What does the underlined part “stay up

42、to date” probably mean?AGo to bed later than usual.BGet the latest information.CAttend to somebody at fixed time.DAccompany somebody day and night.4、The last paragraph intends to tell us that _.Awomen are able to hold up half the skyBsuccess has nothing to do with educationCHonor will probably have

At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the

44、door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “Ive got no time for you now, but Ill take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take he

45、r to the vet (獸醫(yī)). When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.“Listen, doctor, Im really in a rush to get to a meeting-can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? Ill be back in ten minutes to pick

46、her up, and then Ill take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”“Sure,” said the doctor.Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to

47、 get out of that house immediately,” said the doctors voice. “Im coming round fight away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused a

48、nd very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.“Wheres Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.“Shes free, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and shes OK now.”Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all o

49、ver him.“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”“I think he must be a burglar,” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Shebas throat; it turned out to be three human fingers.”1、What was Joanne supposed to do
