二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

21、I am an e­mail user. When I first started to use the e­mail system, I used to read all my e­mail. I didn’t have much mail. I gave my friends my e­mail address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail. I was worried. I didn’t want my mail to control me.

I’ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15~20 minutes every day to process my e­mail. This doesn’t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete(删除) them.

Sometimes I’m not at all interested in a message, so I don’t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.

These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time,they teach me new tricks for managing my e­mail. I’m still amazed at what e­mail can do for me! I’m still worried, however, about having too much to read.

【1】The writer used to read all his e­mail because ______.

A. he was forced to do that

B. he had nothing else to do

C. he didn’t know how to read mail

D. he didn’t have much mail

2】Which of the following does NOT belong to the ways of the writer’s dealing with his mail?

A. Passing some on to his friends.

B. Just reading some.

C. Deleting some.

D. Saving the messages.

3】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. messages.    B. friends.

C. computers.    D. methods.

4】What’s the purpose of the writer to write this passage?

A. To share happiness in using mail with us.

B. To share some methods of using computer with us.

C. To share some worries in using mail with us.

D. To persuade us out of using mail.

 

22、   Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.

Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reason.

I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I never let out about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.

When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.

One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.

The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.

All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.

My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.

As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!

I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.

1The underlined expression “shown the gate” (paragraph 4) most probably means “_________”.

A.told how to enter the arena B.shown how to make the horse beautiful

C.removed from the competition early D.told to enter the timed-speed events

2Why was the writer NOT confident of beating Becky?

A.He had not practiced enough.

B.He was an inexperienced rider.

C.He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.

D.Becky and her horse performed well in their turn.

3What did the writer learn from his experience?

A.Life can sometimes be unfair.

B.A positive attitude will bring success.

C.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.

D.One should not make judgments based on appearance.

4The best title for the story is ________.

A.A Run to Remember B.A Horse’s Tale

C.Neck and Neck D.A Difficult Age

23、Corals are made up of hundreds of thousands of small organisms (微生物). For the past five years, researchers in Hawaii and Australia have been engineering corals inside a lab to see if they could better resist the effects of climate change.

The team tested three methods for making corals that would be strong and healthy in nature. One is selective breeding (繁殖), aiming to produce babies with desirable characteristics. The second method subjected the corals to increasing temperatures to condition them to be able to survive in warm ocean environments. The third involved making changes to the algae (海藻) that provide corals with necessary nutrients.

The leader of the project, Kira Hughes, said all the methods proved successful in the lab. She said some scientists might worry that such methods go against the natural processes of nature. But with the planet continuing to get warmer and warmer, she does not see any better options. “We have to intervene (干预) in order to make a change for coral reefs to survive into the future,” Hughes said.

When ocean temperatures rise, corals turn white, a process called bleaching. When this happens, corals can quickly become sick and die. But for years, scientists have been observing corals that have survived bleaching. They are now centering on those healthy survivors. Those corals were used as the parents for the newly created kinds.

A recent study found bleaching to be the biggest current threat to the world’s coral reefs. Between 2009 and 2018, the world lost about 14 percent of its corals. “Corals are threatened worldwide by a lot of things, but increasing temperatures are probably the most serious,” said Crawford Drury. He is the chief scientist at Hawaii’s Coral Resilience Lab.

Madeleine van Oppen, a research scientist, told the AP there were concerns about whether the experiments could result in a loss of genetic diversity. And there were critics who said the scientists were “playing god” by making such changes to the reef. “Well, you know, humans have already intervened in the reef for a very long period of time,” van Oppen said. “Rather than editing genes or creating anything unnatural, the researchers are just attempting to repair the damage,” van Oppen added.

【1】What is Kira Hughes’ opinion on engineering corals inside a lab?

A.It is quite unnecessary.

B.It is the best choice so far.

C.It has a slim chance of success.

D.It follows the natural processes.

【2】What does Crawford Drury agree with?

A.The sickness of algae is the root of corals’ death.

B.Bleaching is the only threat to the world’s coral reefs.

C.Rising ocean temperatures are seriously affecting corals.

D.No corals can survive when ocean temperatures increase.

【3】What is Madeleine van Oppen’s attitude towards people’s concerns and critics’ opinions?

A.Disapproving.

B.Favorable.

C.Tolerant.

D.Unclear.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Warm Ocean Environments Endanger Coral Reefs

B.Scientists Create Corals in Lab to Better Resist Climate Change

C.New Methods Curing Corals of Bleaching Proved Successful

D.Gene Editing Becomes a Main Approach to Saving Struggling Corals

24、Plastic-eating worms

Humans produces more than 30 million tons of plastic each year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(填埋场) , and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests that an answer may lies in the stomachs of some hungry worms.

Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can breakdown polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100waxwormsona commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3%of it. To confirm that the worm's chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films . 14 hours later the films had lost 13%of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes( ) from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017. Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to breakdown plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,”she explains, “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.”

Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University di Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can breakdown polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, Debruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物) ?

Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to breakdown plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic”.

1What can we learn about the worms in the study?

A.They take plastics as their everyday food.

B.They are newly evolved creatures.

C.They can consume plastics.

D.They wind up in landfills.

2It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might _________.

A.help to raise worms B.help make plastic bags

C.be used to clean the oceans D.be produced in factories in future

3What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To explain a study method on worms.

B.To introduce the diet of a special worm.

C.To present a way to breakdown plastics.

D.To propose new means to keep eco-balance.
