21、An inky squid(鱿鱼)stuck in a net can be a messy problem for a fisher. Now, new research offers hope: It shows that attaching green LED lights to fishing nets significantly cuts down the bycatch, such as sharks and squids, without affecting the quality and quantity of desired fish.

“This is an excellent study that shows a reduction in bycatch of multiple species and doesn’t have a negative impact on the bottom line,” says Rebecca Lewison, a conservation ecologist at SanDiego State University.

Many coastal fishers use gillnets(刺网), which hang in the water like chain-link fences, to bring in their catches. The nets don’t discriminate between desirable and undesirable species, which are often thrown overboard with fatal injuries. This “bycatch” contributes significantly to the global declines of species including dolphins and sea turtles, and it slows down fishers’ daily operations.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration marine ecologist John Wang and his colleagues previously designed shiny nets to handle turtle bycatch. Turtles are particularly good at seeing green light. A research report showed the lit nets brought in 63% less bycatch, including 51% fewer turtles and 81% fewer squid, than the dark nets. In the Gulf of California, Lewison says, shark bycatch is “a huge issue. “ In the new study, it went down by an amazing 95%.

Meanwhile, just as many of the target fish were caught as before, fishers spent only half the time pulling in and loosing the nets. The major drawback, Senko says, is that it takes up to $140 to equip a net with lights, which is more than some fishers can afford. The researchers are now testing solar-powered lights that last longer than battery-powered ones. They’re also looking into whether fewer lights per net can produce the same results in Baja California and in fishing grounds in Indonesia and the Caribbean.

【1】Why were the green LED lights attached to the fishing net?

A．To make sure the quality of desired fish.

B．To reduce the catch of non-targeted animals.

C．To figure out the quantity of desired fish.

D．To make fishermen see the fish more clearly.

【2】What does the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．distinguish

B．balance

C．check

D．choose

【3】Which species are the most beneficial from the lit nets?

A．turtles

B．sharks

C．dolphins

D．squids.

【4】What can we know about the lit fishing nets in the last paragraph?

A．Its cost is high.

B．Its usage is broad.

C．It is hard to purchase.

D．It needs solar energy to power.

22、Wi-Fi has become an integral part of our fast-paced everyday lives. Thanks to Wi-Fi, we no longer have to be restricted to the Internet with cables. But have you ever stopped to wonder how it works?

Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit information between your device and a router (路由器) via frequencies. Two radio-wave frequencies can be used, depending on the amount of data being sent: 2.4 gigahertz (千赫兹) and 5 gigahertz. What does that mean, though? Well, a hertz is just a measurement of frequency. For example, let’s say you’re sitting on a beach, watching the waves crash to shore. If you measured the time between each wave crash, you’d be measuring the frequency of the waves. One hertz is a frequency of one wave per second. One gigahertz, on the other hand, is one billion waves per second. The higher the frequency, the greater the amount of data transmitted per second.

The two Wi-Fi frequencies are split into multiple channels so as to prevent high traffic and interference. When it comes to sharing the data across these channels, well, that’s when the magic computer science happens. The first step in the process is initiated by you. When you access the Internet on your device, it transforms the information you’ve requested into binary (二进制) code, the language of computers. Everything computers do is based in binary code, a series of 1s and 0s. When you click on this article, your request is translated into a bunch of 1s and 0s. The frequencies travel across the radio channels mentioned earlier and are received by the Wi-Fi router that your device is connected to. The router then transforms the frequencies back into binary code and translates the code into the Internet traffic that you requested, and the router receives that data through a hardwired Internet cable. The process repeats itself until you have loaded this article — or anything that requires the Internet.

【1】What is the author’s attitude to the Wi-Fi access?

A．Favorable.

B．Tolerant.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【2】Why does the author mention “sitting on a beach” in Paragraph 2?

A．To make a prediction.

B．To clarify a concept.

C．To present a fact.

D．To offer a reason.

【3】What is the focus of the last paragraph?

A．The significance of measuring frequency.

B．The method of transmitting information.

C．The function of translating binary code.

D．The principle of sharing data.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．When Does Wi-Fi Exist?

B．What Does Wi-Fi Transmit?

C．How Does Wi-Fi Work?

D．Why Does Wi-Fi Matter?

23、   Close to the North Pole, remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.

A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot, dry weather.

Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.

Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.

We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.

The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment——about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be.

【1】What is the Seed Vault according to the passage?

A．It’s a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.

B．It’s a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops.

C．It’s a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture.

D．It’s a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops.

【2】What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably means?

A．Mature.

B．Alive.

C．Clean.

D．Valuable.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tells us?

A．How the seeds are preserved.

B．Where people keep the seeds.

C．Why the seeds are protected.

D．What people do to study the seeds.

【4】We can know from the passage that ________.

A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change.

B．most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties.

C．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity.

D．many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise.

24、Better Holiday Pics, Without Using a Selfie Stick

If you find yourself vacationing in Budapest, Hungary, you could preserve travel memories by taking a few arm-length, low-quality cell phone selfies that will likely fail to capture the magic of your visit. Or you could hire someone like Dana J. Ardell, a Budapest-based professional photographer who knows photo spots you’ll never find in a guidebook and who can deliver stunning pictures — with your whole travel party in the shots.

Ardell is a photographer with Flytographer, one of a growing number of online services that help travelers find and hire a photographer to take pictures of them during a vacation.

“People who believe memories are the best souvenir” are among those who will find value in photo services, says Flytographer founder and CEO Nicole Smith.

Still, the cost could run a few hundred dollars, so be smart about whom you hire. Here’s what to know about hiring a pro to take pictures on your next vacation or bucket-list trip.

Why hire a photographer?

Smartphone cameras are decent, but they don’t provide the same quality of pictures as a professional camera and lens. Plus, phone cameras aren’t usually operated by a skilled photographer who knows how to incorporate the best light and properly compose a shot and later edit the images.

If you plan to turn a vacation photo into a wall-worthy print, you’ll want something better than a cell phone snapshot. “Nobody’s going to blow up a blurry selfie with seven chins,” Smith says.

Photographers who live in your destination know where and when to shoot — when the light is most favorable and where you won’t be jostling with other tourists during busy times at landmarks.

Part of the benefit of hiring a trip photographer has nothing to do with photos — it’s interacting with a resident, gaining insight into how locals live. “We chat the whole time,” Ardell says. “I love giving recommendations on my favorite places to eat and things to do around the city.”

How to book a pro

You could do your own research to find someone in the place you’re visiting. But online booking services make hiring a photographer easier, especially if you’re going abroad and don’t speak the language. With many of the services, including Flytographer, Local Lens and localgrapher, and you choose the city, then read biographies of local photographers, look at their portfolios and pick one.

According to Smith, an hour long session offers enough time for photos at a couple of locations and gives vacationers time to warm up in front of the camera. But a half-hour shoot can work for those tight on time or budget. Also remember to book early. Booking several weeks out means a wider selection of photographers, dates and times.

If you’ve taken fabulous journeys but your photos just don’t match, hiring a vacation photographer might be the ticket to preserving memories.

【1】Which of the following about Flytographer is true?

A．It is a Budapest-based professional photographer.

B．It’s an online service helping tourists find and hire professional photographers.

C．It’s an online shop that sells souvenirs.

D．It’s an internet-based vacation planning company.

【2】Which is not a reason for hiring a professional trip photographer?

A．Photographers take photos for you without crowding into popular sights.

B．Photographers are a reliable source of tourist information and local culture.

C．Hiring photographers with professional cameras and lens is value for your money.

D．Photographers help you preserve the best memories by producing quality photos.

【3】What do the underlined words in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A．Your photos fall victim to criticism on the internet.

B．Your photos are not taken as required by photographers.

C．You photos fail to capture the highlights of your journeys.

D．Your photos are not as competitive as those taken by others.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One evening a middle-aged lady was walking down the street when she noticed an old beggar sitting on the corner. The man was elderly, unshaven, and ragged. As he sat there, pedestrians walked by him giving him dirty looks. They clearly wanted nothing to do with him because of who he was - a dirty, homeless man. But when she saw him, the woman was moved to sympathy.

It was very cold that day and the man had his torn coat - more like an old suit coat rather than a warm coat - wrapped around him. She stopped and looked down. “Sir?” she asked. “Are you all right?”

The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like that she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before. “Leave me alone,” he shouted.

To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling - her even white teeth displayed in extremely bright rows. “Are you hungry?” she asked.

“No,” he answered ironically. “I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away.”

The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. “What are you doing, lady?” the man asked angrily. “I said to leave me alone.”

Just then a policeman came up. “Is there any problem, ma'am?” he asked.

“No problem here, officer,” the woman answered. “I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?”

The officer scratched his head. “That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?”

“See that cafeteria over there?”she asked. “I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for a while.”

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Are you crazy, lady?” the homeless man resisted.
