They think their way could help people monitor (监测) and improve soil around the world. All living things — animals, insects, and even plants — make sounds, and by listening we can study those noises. The way has been used to watch bats, birds and sea animals. Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was. Soil can be filled with many living things, and the greater the variety (多样性) of living things, the healthier the soil. For example, animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil. However, the change of the environment and human activities have reduced the variety of living things in soil. “It’s very important to monitor the variety of living things in soil,” Robinson said. For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently. Next, they collected many hours of recordings from the Mount Bold area of Australia. Finally, they took some to check soil health. The recordings showed the different sounds living things make underground. The study found that more different kinds of sounds suggested healthier soil. It also showed that listening is a good way to test soil health. It costs less and causes less loss than other ways, such as digging up soil and testing it. In the future, Robinson said, “Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.” 37. What did scientists in Australia want to use listening for? A. Checking the health of soil. B. Studying living things’ noises. C. Watching some living things. D. Making some animals’ sounds. 38. What can we learn about ants and worms from Paragraph 3? A. It’s necessary to monitor them. B. It’s natural for them to live in soil. C. They are helpful to the health of soil. D. They add to the variety of living things. 39. Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the study’s ________. A. steps B. tools C. result D. purpose 40. According to Robinson, what’s the future of listening to soil like? A. It will be used in other fields. B. It can be used by more people. C. It can dig up life underground. D. It will bring more living things. 【答案】37. A 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家通过聆听土壤中的声音来监测和评估土壤健康的新方法。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was.”可知科学家们想通过聆听来检查土壤的健康状况。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil”可知像蚂蚁和蠕虫这样的无脊椎动物有助于营养和水通过土壤，即它们对土壤的健康有帮助。故选C。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently...”可知第四段主要描述了科学家进行研究的具体步骤。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.”可知未来每个人都可以买自己的小麦克风来听土壤的声音，即听土壤这种方式可以被更多人使用。故选B。 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Physical literacy (体育素养) is about our ability to be active, which is good for both our minds and bodies.

The business mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office supplies—all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Ford makes goes to people in need. She also offers activities to help kids feel good about themselves. The classes focus on things like creative writing, and how to start and run your own business. Ford hopes to use these things to remind young people of their worth (价值). “My purpose is to spread positivity,” said Ford. 33. What can we learn about Project Arting for You? A.

Products and projects bring joy to young people D Scientists have found a new way to study the health of soil—by listening to it. They think their way could help people monitor (监测) and improve soil around the world. All living things — animals, insects, and even plants — make sounds, and by listening we can study those noises. The way has been used to watch bats, birds and sea animals. Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was. Soil can be filled with many living things and the greater the variety (多样性) of living things, the healthier the soil. For example, animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil. However, the change of the environment and human activities have reduced the variety of living things in soil. “It’s very important to monitor the variety of living things in soil,” Robinson said. For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently. Next, they collected many hours of recordings from the Mount Bold area of Australia. Finally, they took some to check soil health. The recordings showed the different sounds living things make underground. The study found that more different kinds of sounds suggested healthier soil. It also showed that listening is a good way to test soil health. It costs less and causes less loss than other ways, such as digging up soil and testing it. In the future, Robinson said, “Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.” 37. What did scientists in Australia want to use listening for? A. Checking the health of soil. B. Studying living things’ noises. C. Watching some living things. D. Making some animals’ sounds. 38. What can we learn about ants and worms from Paragraph 3? A. It’s necessary to monitor them. B. It’s natural for them to live in soil. C. They are helpful to the health of soil. D. They add to the variety of living things. 39.
