【题目】Coral reefs(珊 礁)are not just beautiful to look at,but also very useful.They shelter nearly 25% of ocean life and provide food for billions of people.However, like many other species,this amazing ecosystem(生态系统)is in danger of dying out!

There are two main reasons for the destruction—the rising carbon dioxide levels caused by global warming as well as human influences like bottom operation.While not much can be done about the former,the loss caused by the latter can be reduced.

Bottom operation involves dropping nets to the ocean bed and then dragging them up when filled with fish.This action damaged the ocean floor,causing the coral branches to separate from the reefs.While that is very discouraging,the good news is that if these branches are found quickly,they can be saved.At present,that work is being performed by volunteer divers. But the method has only limited success because they cannot stay long underwater, nor reach depths of over 200 meters where some of the deep-sea coral grows.

However,this is not the case for Coral botsthe robots that can constantly seek out broken branches.A team of ‘coral bots’,each individually working to simple rules will piece together damaged bits of coral, allowing them to regrow. They are programmed to be able to distinguish between other things and the coral.The robots work together in groups,similar to bees.If one coralbot is damaged then the others will still be able to complete the task.

Dr Lea-Anne Henry said:The project of using coral bots offers us the possibility to restore(修复)the function of reefs.It is in the final stage of testing.Once ready, the researchers hope to build hundreds of them and use them effectively in the waters off Scotland and then hopefully in the oceans across the world.

【1】Which of the following is a cause of the danger that coral reefs are facing?

A.The appearance of new creatures.

B.The seriously polluted sea water.

C.The activities of volunteer divers.

D.Human activities like bottom operation.

【2】Compared with volunteer divers,coralbots ______________.

A.can stay longer underwater

B.must work as bees do

C.can distinguish what is coral

D.can never be damaged

【3】What does the underlined wordthemin the last paragraph refer to?

A.Coralbots. B.Broken branches.

C.working bees. D.Bits of coral.

【4】We can infer from the passage that _______________.

A.bottom operation has affected most underwater creatures

B.broken branches of coral can regrow if saved in time

C.hundreds of the coralbots have worked well in the oceans

D.with the coralbots all damaged coral reefs can be restored

【题目】In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical (热带的)Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen becomes the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling wind hundreds-even thousands-of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried west-ward by the southeast winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist(潮湿)air flows in at the bottom of such a wind, moves up-ward through it and comes out at the top. In the process(过程),the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to move in a counter-clockwise motion(逆时针运动).

The life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat re-leased (释放)by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction(毁灭)in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours, causing sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea-the mountains of water moving toward the hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

1When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?

A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.

B. When it hits the coastline.

C. When it is more than 75 miles wide.

D. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour.

2What is the worst thing about hurricanes?

A. The terrible effects of water.

B. The heat they give off.

C. That they last about nine days.

D. Their strong winds.

3Here the word "downpour" means __________.

A. heavy rainfall

B. dangerous waves

C. the progress of water to the hurricane center

D. the increasing heat

4Which statement about a hurricane is wrong?

A. It travels more than 75 miles per hour.

B. It usually stays about 9 days.

C. It usually causes 6 to 12 inch downpours.

D. It sometimes brings the sea water level to the height of 15feet.

【题目】In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.

That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”

One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expection are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.

【1】改编The reason why Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland is that _______.

A. there are evident differences between the two countries

B. Polish kids are better at learning

C. he plans to improve his scores

D. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

【2】According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.

A. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

B. too much importance is placed on sports in America

C. American high schools complain about sports time

D. PISA plays a very important role in America

【3】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.

A. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

D. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

【4】改编What is the main purpose of this article ?_______.

A. push public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B. Appeal to American schools to learn from the Polish model

C. compare Polish schools with those in America

D. explain what is the matter with American schools and provide solutions
