Humans learn a lot from animals and plants. There is a science that studies how we copy ideas from nature to create useful products. This science is called biomimetics (仿生学). Some animals, like the sugar glider, have wing-like structures (结构). They spread out their arms and legs to slow down and land easily. The idea for wing-suits, special clothes that let people experience flying, comes from the sugar glider. Other animals, like the armadillo, have structures to protect themselves. The armadillo has a hard shell (壳) that protects it from dangerous animals. When it feels dangerous, it rolls (卷曲) into a ball for safety. Once the danger is gone, it unrolls. This behavior gave the idea for the design of a backpack with a hard surface to protect the things inside. Plants have also helped create amazing inventions. One famous example is Velcro (魔术贴). Velcro has two pieces of cloth that stick together when pressed. The idea for Velcro came from the burrs (带刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to clothes or hair, helping them spread to other places. Biomimetics is used in many ways in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see! 26．What helped the invention of wing-suits? A．The amazing burrs of a plant. B．The hard shell of the armadillo. C．The wing-like structures of the sugar glider. D．The rolling behavior of the armadillo. 27．How does the armadillo protect itself from danger? A．By rolling into a ball. B．By using Velcro-like burrs. C．By jumping from tree to tree. D．By spreading its arms and legs. 28．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to(指代)? A．The burrs. B．The clothes. C．The backpacks. D．The structures. 29．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article? A．To make a list of nature’s types. B．To show biomimetics’ value. C．To compare nature and humans. D．To teach how to invent new things 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．A 29．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了仿生学，即通过模仿自然界中的动植物来解决人类问题。 26．细节理解题。根据文中“The idea for wing-suits, special clothes that let people experience flying, comes from the sugar glider.”可知，翼服的创意来自蜜袋鼯。故选C。 27．细节理解题。根据文中“The armadillo has a hard shell that protects it from dangerous animals. When it feels dangerous, it rolls into a ball for safety.”可知，犰狳通过卷成一个球保护自己免受危险。故选A。 28．词句猜测题。根据文中“The idea for Velcro came from the burrs of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to clothes or hair, helping them spread to other places.”可知，them指代的是毛刺。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据文中“There is a science that studies how we copy ideas from nature to create useful products. This science is called biomimetics (仿生学)”以及全文可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是展示仿生学的价值。故选B。 B The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It is the home to over 400 species (物种) like the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟). The Chinese sturgeon is one of the largest fish in the world and it’s long. A Chinese sturgeon can grow up to about 5m long, over 500kg and live to be 40 years old. They’ve lived on the earth for about 140,000,000 years, so people call them a “living fossil (化石)”. The Chinese sturgeon was common in the river before. However, it’s in danger now. Fishing too much in the 1970s made the species fewer and fewer. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam put the sturgeon into two groups. The two groups could not get together. As a result, the species became even fewer. So the help for the Chinese sturgeon is very necessary. Luckily, China already took action. On May 14th. Shanghai passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. This was the first rule in the country to help one fish in danger. From January 2020, the country also started to stop people from fishing in the Yangtze River. It will last (持续) for ten years. We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more. We should also play a part in saving the species in danger. 30．From Paragraph (段落) 1, we can know about the common ________ of the Chinese sturgeon. A．food B．age C．habit D．color 31．What does “took action” mean in Chinese? A．实现梦想 B．拒绝改变 C．放弃希望 D．采取行动 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Chinese sturgeon is common now. B．People call the Chinese sturgeon a living fossil. C．There are less than 400 species in the Yangtze River. D．Beijing passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. 33．In the last paragraph, the writer wants us to ________. A．start to go fishing B．make a new rule C．save the Chinese sturgeon D．clean the Yangtze River 【答案】30．B 31．D 32．B 33．C 【导语】本文介绍了长江中的中华鲟这一濒危物种，其因过度捕鱼和葛洲坝修建导致数量减少，中国已采取行动来保护中华鲟。 30．细节理解题。根据“A Chinese sturgeon can grow up to about 5m long, over 500kg and live to be 40 years old”可知可以知道中华鲟的年龄。故选B。 31．词义猜测题。根据“Luckily, China already took action. On May 14th. Shanghai passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon”可知海通过了一项帮助中华鲟的新规定，可见中国已经采取行动保护中华鲟，故此处划线部分意为“采取行动”。故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据“so people call them a ‘living fossil (化石)’.”可知中华鲟被成为“活化石”。故选B。 33．推理判断题。根据“We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more. We should also play a part in saving the species in danger.”可知我们也应该在拯救濒危物种方面发挥作用，所以作者想要我们拯救中华鲟。故选C。 C Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 34．How can a certain kind of ants find their way home? A．By remembering their steps. B．By living in the open desert. C．By walking as far as 110 meters. D．By using an amazing sense of smell. 35．What makes some sea birds make their flying maps? A．Good sense of smell. B．The earth’s magnetic field. C．Unbelievable listening. D．Some uncertain mysteries. 36．Why do many birds lose their way at night according to the last paragraph? A．Because they can’t see clearly. B．Because they mistake lights for stars. C．Because they depend on the magnetic field. D．Because they are used to the environment. 37．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Environmental Changes B．Unusual Abilities C．Similar Animals D．Human Activities 【答案】34．A 35．A 36．B 37．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些动物具有的超凡方向感及其科学原理，同时指出人类活动对这些动物生存环境的影响，并呼吁人类采取行动减少干扰。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知，某种蚂蚁能够数自己的步数来避免迷路，因此它们是通过记住自己的步数来找到回家的路的。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段“Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.”可知，一些海鸟能够制作飞行区域的嗅觉地图；据此可以推断，海鸟是通过良好的嗅觉来制作飞行地图的。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段“many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night”可知，许多鸟类依赖星星来辨别方向，但当城市灯光整夜亮着时，它们很容易在夜晚迷路；据此可以推断，鸟类把灯光误认为是星星，从而导致了迷路。故选B。 37．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文主要介绍了某些动物具有的超凡方向感及其科学原理，包括蚂蚁通过数步数、鱼类和鸟类通过嗅觉和磁场等方式来辨别方向；选项B“超凡的能力”最能概括文章的主旨大意，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 D “DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL CHINA” China Daily and its Discover Beautiful China platform (dbc.chinaservicesinfo.com), China Daily Website and China Daily App are calling for photos and videos from now until October 20.

Humans learn a lot from animals and plants. There is a science that studies how we copy ideas from nature to create useful products. This science is called biomimetics (仿生学). Some animals, like the sugar glider, have wing-like structures (结构). They spread out their arms and legs to slow down and land easily. The idea for wing-suits, special clothes that let people experience flying, comes from the sugar glider. Other animals, like the armadillo, have structures to protect themselves. The armadillo has a hard shell (壳) that protects it from dangerous animals. When it feels dangerous, it rolls (卷曲) into a ball for safety. Once the danger is gone, it unrolls. This behavior gave the idea for the design of a backpack with a hard surface to protect the things inside. Plants have also helped create amazing inventions. One famous example is Velcro (魔术贴). Velcro has two pieces of cloth that stick together when pressed. The idea for Velcro came from the burrs (带刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to clothes or hair, helping them spread to other places. Biomimetics is used in many ways in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see! 26．What helped the invention of wing-suits? A．The amazing burrs of a plant. B．The hard shell of the armadillo. C．The wing-like structures of the sugar glider. D．The rolling behavior of the armadillo. 27．How does the armadillo protect itself from danger? A．By rolling into a ball. B．By using Velcro-like burrs. C．By jumping from tree to tree. D．By spreading its arms and legs. 28．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to(指代)? A．The burrs. B．The clothes. C．The backpacks. D．The structures. 29．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article? A．To make a list of nature’s types. B．To show biomimetics’ value. C．To compare nature and humans. D．To teach how to invent new things B The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It is the home to over 400 species (物种) like the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟). The Chinese sturgeon is one of the largest fish in the world and it’s long. A Chinese sturgeon can grow up to about 5m long, over 500kg and live to be 40 years old. They’ve lived on the earth for about 140,000,000 years, so people call them a “living fossil (化石)”. The Chinese sturgeon was common in the river before. However, it’s in danger now. Fishing too much in the 1970s made the species fewer and fewer. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam put the sturgeon into two groups. The two groups could not get together. As a result, the species became even fewer. So the help for the Chinese sturgeon is very necessary. Luckily, China already took action. On May 14th. Shanghai passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. This was the first rule in the country to help one fish in danger. From January 2020, the country also started to stop people from fishing in the Yangtze River. It will last (持续) for ten years. We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more. We should also play a part in saving the species in danger. 30．From Paragraph (段落) 1, we can know about the common ________ of the Chinese sturgeon. A．food B．age C．habit D．color 31．What does “took action” mean in Chinese? A．实现梦想 B．拒绝改变 C．放弃希望 D．采取行动 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Chinese sturgeon is common now. B．People call the Chinese sturgeon a living fossil. C．There are less than 400 species in the Yangtze River. D．Beijing passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. 33．In the last paragraph, the writer wants us to ________. A．start to go fishing B．make a new rule C．save the Chinese sturgeon D．clean the Yangtze River C Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 34．How can a certain kind of ants find their way home? A．By remembering their steps. B．By living in the open desert. C．By walking as far as 110 meters. D．By using an amazing sense of smell. 35．What makes some sea birds make their flying maps? A．Good sense of smell. B．The earth’s magnetic field. C．Unbelievable listening. D．Some uncertain mysteries. 36．Why do many birds lose their way at night according to the last paragraph? A．Because they can’t see clearly. B．Because they mistake lights for stars. C．Because they depend on the magnetic field. D．Because they are used to the environment. 37．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Environmental Changes B．Unusual Abilities C．Similar Animals D．Human Activities D “DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL CHINA” China Daily and its Discover Beautiful China platform (dbc.chinaservicesinfo.com), China Daily Website and China Daily App are calling for photos and videos from now until October 20.
