26、 [1] It happens countless times a day. A flower’s bright color and the smell of sweet nectar (花蜜) attract a bee. The bee stops by for a quick taste and small grains of pollen (the powder produced by a flower) stick to its body. The bee then travels to another flower of the same type and leaves the pollen as it has another meal. This is an example of animal pollination (授粉) — a process extremely important to plant reproduction.
[2] It’s not only plants that depend on animal pollination — humans do, too. Worldwide, nearly a thousand plants that we grow for food, spices, clothing fibers, and medicine depend on it. If pollination suddenly stopped, we would have no apples, tomatoes, coffee, and many other goods.
[3] This important process is carried out by more than 200,000 different animal species known as pollinators. Flies and beetles - the original pollinators - date back 130 million years to the first flowering plants. Birds, butterflies, and ants also do their part. Even nonflying mammals help out: monkeys tear open flowers with their hands, accidentally spreading pollen into the air and onto their fur.
[4] Pollinators are therefore important, but they are also at risk. Climate change, habitat loss, and invasive predators (入侵捕食者) all threaten them. The United States, for example, has lost over 50 percent of its honeybees over the past ten years. A serious threat facing bees is colony collapse disorder, when worker bees mysteriously disappear from their colony. Scientists are still trying to identify its cause.
[5] There is a quote attributed to Einstein that if bees ever disappeared, man would only have four years left to live. Whether that’s true or not does not really matter, says wildlife photographer Louie Schwartzberg: the key point is that there is a real danger. “The healthiest food we need to eat,” he says, “would disappear without pollinating plants. It’s pretty serious.”
【1】What might be left on flower B, as is shown in the picture?
A.Nectar.
B.Pollen.
C.Leaves.
D.Fur.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Pollination means a lot to fruits and grains.
B.Nearly a thousand plants depend on pollination.
C.Monkeys are the only nonflying mammal pollinators.
D.There are more than 20,000 different species of pollinators.
【3】What threat are honeybees faced with?
A.Climate change. B.Habitat loss.
C.Invasive predators. D.Colony collapse disorder.
【4】What does the underlined “a real danger” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Bees are disappearing. B.Humans can only survive 4 years.
C.Food shortage is serious. D.No pollinating plants, no healthy food.
【5】Which might be the best title?
A.The Importance of Pollinators B.The Creator of Nature
C.The Wonder of Reproduction D.The Secret Life of Bees
27、 Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together?
“It’s certainly new territory (领地), especially as home security cameras become easier to fix,” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s distinguished manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about, it that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor (合约工) is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors’ favor. “If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it,” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.”
【1】What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing about the use of home security cameras?
A.Legal rights.
B.Moral issues.
C.The possible impact on health.
D.Likes and dislikes of individuals.
【2】According to Post, what is a host’s responsibility concerning the security camera?
A.Indicating its position.
B.Turning it on all the time.
C.Making their guests feel at ease.
D.Having a casual talk with guests.
【3】How can the home security camera help contractors working in your home?
A.It can prove their innocence.
B.It can record their working progress.
C.It can prevent the accidents happening.
D.It can make their work more enjoyable.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the security camera?
A.Negative. B.Pessimistic.
C.Favorable. D.Objective.
28、Emilia Dobek’s interest in space and the universe started in third grade when she and her father watched a blooded moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食) — outside their Skokie house. “It was just really cool how the universe can change and how something like that happens,” Dobek said.
Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Generation Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for traveling to Mars.
Dobek competed by handing in a two-minute video where she presented her design.
“My design will not only ensure the safety of the astronauts (宇航员) but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” she says in her video.
Dobek’s design calls for building the Mars Storage Station to store plentiful supplies. In the video, Dobek explains how her spacecraft (宇宙飞船) — the Adventure — will land in a space station. Dobek’s design includes physical activity for the astronauts. Astronauts can choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. So astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth such as their home.
Dobek said she began her project by performing her research and then she constructed the design over three weeks to a month, working on it whenever she could including on weekends.
When Andrea Smeeton, her teacher, saw the video and her design before they were sent, she said she had a feeling she could win. “I don’t know why but maybe it was the excitement and the detail in the project,” Smeeton said. “I have taught for a long time and many of my students are gifted but this project was just very creative and it gave hope to a space program.”
Dobek and her parents traveled to Washington D. C. in April where they learned Dobek had won. When she texted her teacher the happy results, Smeeton admitted that she cried.
“I want to tell other kids to follow their dreams,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should kind of just push for it. They should always try their best. ”
【1】What change did Dobek show after watching the lunar eclipse?
A.She determined to be a scientist.
B.She took to working with her father.
C.She was interested in the universe.
D.She gave up wanting to be an astronaut.
【2】What can be learned about Dobik’s design?
A.It replaced the role of the Adventurer.
B.It enabled astronauts to connect with their family.
C.It ensured the safety of the supplies in the spacecraft.
D.It aimed to make life in the Mars space station comfortable.
【3】How did Smeeton feel about Dobek’s design after seeing it?
A.It was pretty amazing.
B.It was a little disappointing.
C.It was less fun than she expected.
D.It was as good as other students.
【4】What kind of girl is Dobek?
A.Energetic and friendly.
B.Productive and selfless.
C.Strong-willed and generous.
D.Forward-thinking and inventive.
29、My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假肢).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure (小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
【1】In what way is Sara different from other kids?
A.There’s something wrong with her body.
B.She knows how to play many instruments.
C.She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D.She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
【2】When invited to join the marching band, Sara________.
A.said no at first
B.had no idea what to do
C.followed the instructor’s advice
D.believed that she would make it
【3】How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band?
A.Bored.
B.Relaxed.
C.Successful.
D.Afraid.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.A High School Band
B.A Young Drummer
C.My Love for Music
D.My Magic Hands
