26、Australia’s bush fires are threatening the country’s unique wildlife —from koalas to native birds to bees —and researchers fear that some species are being pushed to the brink of extinction. The fires have killed at least 26 people, burned thousands of homes and could shave as much as 0. 4% of economic growth, according to some experts.
More than 13,000 head of livestock have been killed by the fires in New South Wales state, where more than 20,000 square miles of land has been burned. The fires threaten to rage on into February—summer - time in Australia —or longer.
Scientists say at least six species are in danger. “There’s great concern that these fires may have pushed species closer to extinction or potentially over,” said Deakin University wildlife ecologist Euan Ritchie. “We won’ t know until we get into the areas,” he said.
Some scientists are concerned about a metallic - green bee that lives exclusively in areas that have been ravaged by fire, along Australia’s east coast and on Kangaroo Island in the south. Researchers suspect the green carpenter bee has been wiped out on Kangaroo Island.
“The species is likely to be in terrible conditions, as all of its habitat has now either burnt or is threatened by fire,” said Katja Hogendoorn, a bee expert at the University of Adelaide, who has been working for half a decade to preserve the population of green carpenter bees on Kangaroo Island.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph One?
A．The wildlife is well protected in Australia.
B．The fires also damage Australian economy.
C．The bush fires have lasted for a long time.
D．The bush fires are frequent in Australia.
【2】How might Euan Ritchie feel about ecological losses?
A．Curious.
B．Concerned.
C．Unexpected.
D．Surprised.
【3】Why are scientists worried about the metallic - green bee?
A．It will all be burnt to death.
B．It is gradually dying out.
C．It might lose its natural home.
D．It will move to other places.
【4】Where might you find this text?
A．In a story book.
B．In a textbook.
C．In a newspaper.
D．In a traveling guide.
27、 Three important changes that will affect people’s everyday life in the future.
The cashless society
Cash and bank notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards with microchip(微芯片) “loaded” with some money. When we pay for goods, we will put our smart cards into a payment terminal(终端) and money will be transferred(转) from our cards to the retailer’s (零售商的) card. When all the money is used up, we will be able to “reload” it by inserting it into a telephone, dialing our bank account and putting money to the card from the account. If we want to transfer money from our cards to a bank account, we will use the same method. Smart cards will be able to hold several different currencies at the same time. So if we go abroad, we will be able to use our smart cards in the same way.
Interactive telephones
Human telephones will be replaced by talking computers. These computers will recognize speech, ask us what information we need, find the information and change it to speech. If we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will ask a talking computer to do it. Of course, this won’t happen until all the technology is in place, but when it is we will soon get used to using computers in this way.
____________________
Traffic congestion(拥挤) in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic maps to find the quickest way to their destinations and avoid traffic jams. Because people have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will control the speed of the car according to the traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents.
【1】The underlined word “currencies” can be best replaced by ________.
A.cards B.kinds of money C.banks D.telephones
【2】The best title for the last paragraph can be “__________”.
A.Intelligent cars B.Fewer traffic jams C.Fewer traffic accidents D.Cleverer drivers
【3】Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?
A.Smart cards will be very important in the future.
B.Goods will be cheaper in the future.
C.Talking computers will do many daily things in the future.
D.Driving will be safer in the future.
28、 Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives (可代替品) to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free (非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!
Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred (被激发) to take action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.
The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating (分离) cow DNA then inserting it into yeast (酵母). This genetic modification (改造) enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.
The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional (常规的) milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian (素食的) consumers will no longer have to deal with the unpleasant cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.
The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already many good cows’ milk products available to consumers.
【1】The underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A.actions B.products C.people D.reasons
【2】The company’s founders were motivated to make the new product because of _______.
A.their deep concern for the environment
B.their worry that farm animals were poorly treated
C.the over-consumption of the dairy-based products
D.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available
【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.
B.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.
C.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.
D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Healthier Cheese
B.New Milk Saves Planet
C.Making Milk without Cows
D.Fresher Milk, Better Future
29、 Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It's hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags
But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting(推广) a minimalist lifestyle(极简生活方式). He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin wasn’t strongly against it, so she got rid of 90 percent of her stuff. She also deleted(删除) 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.
We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true--and perhaps truer.
According to US sociologist Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’,”he said.
But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn't mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.
“They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyles at Euromonitor, said about Chinese youth.
So perhaps it all comes down to how we define(定义) “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about having a more colorful life?
【1】The author mentioned the change of Lin Hanxing to _______.
A.introduce the minimalist lifestyle
B.encourage us readers to buy less
C.explain the popularity of owning less
D.explain the importance of a new lifestyle
【2】What’s Lin Hanxing’s attitude towards the online challenge in the beginning?
A.She was very fond of it.
B.She thought it worth a try.
C.She was strongly against it.
D.She thought it must be painful.
【3】According to the passage, young Chinese people care more about _______.
A.possessions B.culture
C.education D.clothes
【4】If one is rich, he is more likely to _______.
A.spend less B.buy more
C.own less D.experience more
