21、On a sunny but bitterly cold February day, a line of small children snaked their way from Dale to Dale Fort on the Haverfordwest estuary. They were the last of more than 2,000 volunteers who over the last year have collected, stored and put seagrass seeds into little bags, ready for planting. These seagrass seeds were soon to join others on the seafloor a few hundred metres off-shore from Dale to recover two hectares of seagrass meadow (草甸). This recovery is the latest attempt to change a century of destruction.

In the UK, we can only estimate the loss but in Denmark, seagrass records dating back to the 1880s give a very serious and accurate picture. At the turn of the last century, fishing was vital to the Danish economy. It was known then that seagrass meadows were a vital habitat for young sea fish and so in 1908 botanist Carl Ostenfeld was asked to study the seagrasses, then found in all the estuaries and entrance of Denmark. That study provided a clear standard against which to measure the loss of seagrass in Denmark, a loss that currently stands at 95 percent.

Why does this matter? Seagrass not only provide a nurturing habitat for fish but also stabilises the shore and absorbs energy, reducing the impact of storms. Boat anchors (船锚) are one cause of damage to seagrass; seashore development another. But the main cause is river water pollution, particularly nutrients from fertiliser and dirty water. These excess nutrients cause algal (藻类) growth that blankets the seagrass, cutting out light, and then later, when it dies off and rots, removes all oxygen.

One of the important messages is, if you stop killing sea life and protect it, then it does come back. We can turn the oceans around and we know it makes sense economically, for human health and, of course, for the environment.

【1】What did the kids do in Dale over the last year?

A．Have an interesting trip.

B．Gather seagrass seeds.

C．Protect seagrass from snakes.

D．Make an important study.

【2】What can we know about Carl Ostenfeld’s study?

A．It was carried out in the UK and Denmark.

B．It contributed to Danish economy greatly.

C．It showed the loss of seagrass in Denmark.

D．It made some practical measures for Denmark.

【3】Which of the following affects seagrass most seriously?

A．Algal growth.

B．Seashore development.

C．Air pollution.

D．Boats anchors

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To show recovering seagrass is beneficial.

B．To ask people to plant much seagrass.

C．To present the dangers to seagrass.

D．To persuade people to catch fewer sea fish.

22、   High school in the United States starts too early．Given teenagers' sleep patterns, the ideal school start time could be as late as 11:30 a.m.-when many high school students have already finished half a school day and are eating lunch．

Researchers from Harvard and Oxford wrote about this new finding in a recent article in the journal Learning．Media, and Technology．In the article, Paul Kelley supposed that, given when kids and teenagers are biologically conditioned to wake up,10-year-olds should start school at 8 a.m.．16-year-olds should start between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and 18-year-olds should start between 1l a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

There's been lots of research done on sleep and performance in school-but this article thinks that school should start even later than most proposals for a later start time call for．Teens aren't lazy-adults need to adjust．This isn't laziness-sleep patterns are a biological necessity．Reviewing evidence from studies around the world, the researchers think that starting school later would help students learn more, perform better on tests, and even make teenagers less annoyed．When the Minneapolis Public Schools moved their start time from 7:15 a.m. to 8:40 a.m., students liked the change and reported that "attendance, achievement, behavior, and mood improved．"

Parents were positive, too．92 percent said they liked the change, and parents reported that their kids were easier to live with when they weren't getting up so early．At the US Air Force Academy, where students were randomly assigned to classes with earlier and later start times, students who started earlier performed worse all day long on those days．

The researchers consider that this is partly cultural, and that getting up early is still seen as a virtue．That's wrong, they write: "A common belief is that adolescents are tired because they choose to stay up too late, or are difficult to wake in the morning because they are lazy．Educators tend to think that adolescents learn best in the morning and if they simply went to sleep earlier, it would improve their concentration．．．The truth is that adults need to be educated．"

【1】What does the passage mainly argue about?

A.The time to start high school． B.The performance of teenagers．

C.The sleep patterns of the teenagers． D.The common belief of adolescents．

【2】From Paul Kelley's research, people can conclude _______________．

A.the earlier the children get up, the cleverer they will become

B.the elder the children are, the later they should start learning

C.the more time children spend learning, the better they will be

D.the later children wake up, the less knowledge they can get

【3】Which is NOT the benefit of starting school later in Paragraph 3?

A.Gaining more knowledge． B.Getting higher marks．

C.Making mood better． D.Doing less homework．

【4】How did the parents think of starting late?

A.The students are losing a virtue． B.The adults need to be taught．

C.The students benefit from that． D.The adults become lazier．

【5】What should the students do to perform well in school, according to the educators?

A.They should have the wonderful virtue． B.They should develop the common belief．

C.They should become lazier and lazier． D.They should get habits of sleeping early．

23、The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia’s northern Great Barrier Reef. They played certain sounds over a period of about 6 weeks and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played. Among the arriving fish were species that feed on all major food sources.

The researchers noted the importance of having many different kinds of fish return to the area. Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. “Damaged reefs have a higher chance of recovery if they have healthy fish population,” the scientists wrote in the report.

Steve Simpson said that “healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places.” They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen for these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle. He added that reefs “become ghostly quiet” when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can cause unappealing smells and sounds that drive shrimp and fish away.

Mark Meekan is a fish biologist. He said that the return of these fish is the first step to seeing major improvements in reef health. “Recovery is underpinned by fish that clean the reef and create space for corals to regrow,” he said. Tim Gordon says he believes sound can be used to bring back dead coral in areas suffering major destruction in oceans across the world.

University of Bristol professor Andy Radford said the underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But he noted that other threats need to be reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and overfishing. From local management innovations to international political action, we need meaningful progress at all levels to paint a better future for reefs worldwide.

【1】Why did researchers attract fish by playing sounds underwater?

A．To study the population of fish.

B．To catch fish as major food sources.

C．To recover damaged reefs naturally.

D．To record the sounds of healthy corals.

【2】How did Steve explain the coral reefs?

A．By presenting the research results.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By listing some specific data.

D．By giving some examples.

【3】What does the underlined word “underpinned” in Para.4 mean?

A．Destroyed.

B．Affected.

C．Supported.

D．Attacked.

【4】What does Professor Andy stress?

A．Reef needs protection at all levels.

B．Climate change is more serious than reef damage.

C．Overfishing threatens world coral reef.

D．Pollution needs international political action.

24、Tayka Hotel De Sal

Where: Tahua, Bolivia

How much: About $95 a night

Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses (床垫) and blankets).The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.

Green Magic Nature Resort

Where: Vythiri, India

How much: About $240 a night

Why it’s cool: Ridding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window—there is no glass!—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.

Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

Where: Cottonwood, Idaho

How much: $92 a night

Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel

Where: Ayvali, Turkey

How much: Between $130 and $475 a night.
