最佳选项。
A
The nose helps us a lot. It tells us when dinner is almost ready and leads the way to sweet cakes. It also tells
us to keep away from bad smells. But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad?
Fish
You might have noticed that fish smell unpleasant sometimes. Fish from the ocean smell the strongest. These
saltwater fish have a chemical (化学物质) called TMAO. While we prepare fish for cooking, TMAO is already
changing into other things. One is called TMA. It smells super smelly. Usually, before cooks make saltwater fish
a dish, they wash fish. And most of the TMA can be washed away. Cooks also add lemon to make the fish less
smelly.
Feet
Foot sweat (脚汗) itself does not have a bad smell at first. But it has food and water that the bacteria (细菌)
need. With them, the bacteria give off some smell. Most shoes often keep sweat in them. That makes shoes and
socks warm and wet—a place where bacteria can grow. Different types of bacteria give off different smells. That’s
第3页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司why feet may smell like bad vegetables, smelly eggs or other smelly things.
Eggs
Many things smell terrible when they go bad. But a bad egg gives off the most famous bad smell of all and
draws people’s attention. When an egg goes bad, the bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into
sulfur and hydrogen (硫化氢). And it smells really bad. The nose just warns us away from it because too much
sulfur and hydrogen will harm our health.
26. How does the writer tell readers that something smells bad in the passage?
A. By showing forms. B. By listing numbers.
.
C By drawing pictures. D. By giving examples.
27. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Different bacteria produce the same smell.
B. A smelly egg gives off sulfur and hydrogen.
C. Dry shoes and socks can help bacteria grow.
D. Lemon increases the bad smell of saltwater fish.
28. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Word History. B. Cooking Tips. C. Travel Guide. D. Fun Facts.
B
Bicycles have long been a kind of transport in China. In the past, only a small group of people thought cycling
a sport. Now more and more people discover the joy of it.
________ Riders share their favourite routes and health tips about cycling on some apps like Xiaohongshu or
,
Sina Weibo. On Xiaohongshu there are more than 2.5 million posts (帖子) about cycling, and on Weibo, the topic
about cycling has been viewed more than 700 million times. A bicycle company says the sales in one of its stores
rose 20% to 30%, compared to the same period a year earlier. Cycling activities are also welcomed. According to the
Chinese Cycling Association, at least 20 million people have joined in the sport.
People turn to cycling as more people care about their health and their demand for outdoor exercise becomes
stronger. For people who have begun cycling, the sport seems to provide a good way to run away from the busy city
life. It also gives them a stronger sense of being part of the natural environment. Though the sport cycling sometimes
costs a lot, many cyclists think spending money on their own bodies is more valuable than on other items. More
people take part in cycling as cities in China are also planning to build more cycle-only lanes (车道). Several years
ago, Beijing started building the city’s first cycle-only lane. Since its opening, the lane has seen a larger daily traffic
flow. Such lanes are also being built in some other cities.

B. It shows the sales of cycling are going up.
C. It introduces cycling is becoming popular.
D. It recommends good cycling routes to people.

Katie was waiting for Gulliver’s calls. Instead, she just heard sparrows making noise in the bushes. “Maybe
Gulliver missed the harbour.” Dad said. After breakfast, Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful
boats made pretty pictures, but not the one she wanted most.
Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle’s neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull’s name, Gulliver, was given by him.
The gull’s size and his single leg made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first
summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴儿车) on the
floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the passing boat
made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to
Katie and stopped the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that. Another summer
Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to
catch small ducks around or fish from water. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He
stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several summers passed, and Gulliver
continued to call out as Katie tried new things.
This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do. One day, she rowed a boat out but was
trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark
clouds, she saw a single white feather. A gull feather? She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around
knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Katie sat up. “Katie! Katie!” Soon, Dad
and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How lucky! We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks,” Uncle Ralph said, “At
least… it sounded like him. Strange, he was nowhere in sight.” Katie remembered the feather. “I thought I heard

Crying brings advantages to both your body and mind. It is a good way to make you feel less stressed and
cheer you up. It also helps keep your eyes clean. Crying is like giving your eyes a good wash from the inside.
Moreover, it can help you sleep better.
Crying is usually connected with emotions like anger or sadness. When you are happy, you may not often
think of crying. But have you ever heard of “happy crying”? You might have experienced it before. Scientists have
found out happy crying may happen in the following situations:
☆When you have feelings that can’t be expressed
When you have some bad feelings that haven’t been noticed for a long time, and they are not allowed to be
expressed, happy crying happens. That is to say, even when you experience something happy, the bad feelings that
haven’t been noticed or dealt with will still make you cry.
☆When you are unable to keep yourself in good condition
Crying can help you manage strong moods or feelings. Some happy moments can also bring you strong
feelings and you may find it hard to control them, so crying can be of help. When you cry, it feels like you are
driving some bad or terrible feelings away from your body. Besides, the hormones (激素) in tears can help to keep
a balance between body and mood. They can calm you down and make you feel peaceful.

Crying is a way to express feelings. It makes you stay calm, gives your ___56___ a good wash, and helps
you have a better sleep. Crying is often connected with anger or sadness and you ___57___ think of crying when
you are happy. But you may have such an ___58___ called “happy crying”. Happy crying happens when some
bad feelings are ___59___ to people themselves or not dealt with for a long time, even if something pleasant
happens to them. And usually these feelings are not allowed to be expressed. It also happens when happy moments
bring strong feelings and you ___60___ to control yourselves. At that moment, the hormones in tears can keep
your body and mood balanced.

The warm climate, water plants and wetland in nature reserves provide an ideal living environment for wild
animals. This makes them feel like going back to nature. In reserves, people watch and study animals’ living habits,
activities and so on.
Now, the AI system in reserves plays an important role in studying wildlife. Instead of using binoculars, people
just sit in front of a big screen and then they can watch every move the animals make. The AI system helps in many
ways. First, the AI system can tell the differences between different types of wild animals and record the changes in
numbers based on their tails, feet and beaks. Second, it can keep recording animal behaviours for researchers day and
night, while in the past, such recording could not last. Moreover, it can check unusual behaviours among the animals. If
an animal walks or flies in an unusual way or lies on the ground for a while, the system can help find out what
happens. So researchers can take quick actions to save it in time. Besides its main functions, the system can help to
warn the unauthorized (未经许可的) people away from the protected areas. The AI system is also served as an
educational platform (平台) for the people. By using it, visitors can watch and learn more about the wild animals
living in the reserve.
However, there are problems. On one hand, the AI system itself sometimes mistakes an animal for another, or a
plant for an animal. On the other hand, people still need to go around to get a whole understanding of wildlife because
the AI system has not been put in at every corner of the reserves. To further develop the AI system, the reserves are
now working with more high-tech companies.
