阅读下面的三篇短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选择
最佳选项。
A
Many years ago, flying to another place sounded impossible. In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy
stories become true with the help of science?
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long.
Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body
temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for
years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born.
Talking to animals
In the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny
cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs
connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the
future.
Super strength
In fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists
haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super
strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like
wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty
super.
Invisible coat (隐形衣)
Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have
an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can
change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects.
Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our
coat and make us at least harder to be seen.
21. What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter?
①stop eating and drinking ②slow down their breath
③hide in the dark ④dry themselves out
⑤lower body temperatures
A. ①②④ B. ①②⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤
22. According to the passage, what progress have scientists made?A. Helping people change skin colours. B. Talking to animals through programs.
C. Getting super strength through machines. D. Making people sleep for months in winter.
.
23 Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Sports. B. Travel. C. History. D. Science.
B
Do you know dolphins and believe they are among the smartest animals?
Dolphins are mammals (哺乳动物), not fish. The most famous type is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Bottlenose
Dolphins are the stars of many shows. Their mouths look like friendly smiles and they can be trained to play tricks
by their trainers. Like other dolphins, they breathe air through the blowholes on top of their heads from the water
surface. They also give birth to babies and feed their babies milk. Dolphins can communicate through whistles (哨
音) and even call each other, using special names formed by different series of whistles. Noises also help them find
food. Dolphins make up to 1,000 clicking noises per second. These clicks travel underwater until they hit an object
and return to the dolphin, showing the object’s size, shape and location.
Humans have studied dolphins for years to learn how their brains work. A lot of research has been made to
study dolphins in the wild. For example, people have seen dolphins off Australia’s coast use shells to catch fish. It
shows that dolphins are good at using tools.
It is said that smart animals like to play. If so, dolphins win the gold medal for their playfulness. They can
jump out of the water up to 16 feet, play amazing tricks and ride the waves.
Scientists give different reasons for play. They find that play helps animals grow mentally and physically. The
animals learn their own limits and abilities, practice skills and gain confidence. So, when you see dolphins playing
in the wild, you’ll know that they are not just playing for fun, but also to practice their skills and stay healthy.
24. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. An introduction to a kind of dolphin.
B. Reasons why dolphins play in the wild.
C. Differences between mammals and fish.
D. The way dolphins communicate with each other.
25. What ability of dolphins does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)?
A. Calling each other. B. Using shells to catch fish.
C. Jumping out of the water. D. Playing amazing tricks.
26. How does the writer prove that dolphins are among the smartest animals?
A. By presenting facts. B. By carrying out a survey.
C. By comparing numbers. D. By interviewing trainers.C
One day, my friend Mareya called. “Nora, I will travel to Hawaii. There will be beaches, sandcastles…” she
said. Her words made me have a strange feeling. I was happy for her but envied her a little. “Oh, well,” I thought,
“I will have a hiking trip with Olivia. That will also be very interesting.”
Later that day, I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle’s new beach house. So we had to put off our hiking trip.
“I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?” she said. “Oh, sure,” I said. I tried to push the corners of my mouth
into a smile, but inside, my heart was sinking.
At that time, I saw Mrs. Daisy in her garden. I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my
mind off unpleasant feelings. Watering the flowers made me feel good but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also
be on holiday with my friends.
“Be careful!” Mrs. Daisy said. “That is a harmful plant. I’ll get it out of here.” Suddenly, I realized what I was
watering. Mrs. Daisy was aware of my bad mood, smiled at me and said, “Dear Nora, plants or feelings, we should
watch what we’re watering, right? If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But
if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.” “I guess that makes sense,” I
said, “but I fail to tell my mind to stop being sad.” “Just let yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said, “but after a
while, you can try feeding your mind with happier thoughts. Talk to a friend, go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of
a flower.”
I thought Mrs. Daisy’s advice was worth trying. So I called Olivia at once. After sharing my feelings with her,
I cheered up again and moreover we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she came back.
—Adapted from the story by Lissa Rovetch

根据短文内容在文章后表格中的空白处填入一个最恰当的词, 每空一词。
Food waste is not just a problem at the dinner table, but a big problem all over the world. Serious losses of
food, happen from farmers’ fields to customers’ fridges. What’s worse, pollution and natural disasters may cause
food shortage.
In developing countries, forty percent of food waste happens during harvesting and processing (加工).
Because of this, farmers making little money are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They are also short of rapid
transportation and refrigeration (冷藏), so a large number of crops may go bad before they reach the market. Few
farmers can afford industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions.
Food waste is also discovered in developed countries. More than forty percent of food waste happens during
the process of selling and buying. Shockingly, this amount reaches near the yearly food production in some part of
Africa. In many cases, the vegetables and fruit are thrown away because they look “ugly”, falling short of industry
standards.
Polluting and destroying environment do harm to producing food. A few countries are reducing natural areas
for growing food crops and raising livestock (牲畜). Most surprisingly, in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, 800
million trees in the past six years have been cut down to make beef cattle farms. Also, fish farms still create a great
deal of pollution as well as diseases. At present, it seems that food production doesn’t reduce, but it may influence
all the living things on the earth in the future.
Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year’s crop for an unlucky farmer. Climate
change will make such events that were previously thought of as “once in a hundred years” happen more and more
often. This means that we’ll need more resources to produce the same amount of food.
Food waste is harmful to humans, as well as other life on the earth. It’s not only the problem on customers’
dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments.
•Food is lost ___56___ from fields to fridges.

•Food shortage is caused by pollution and natural disasters.
