At Dagu Glacier in Southwest China,scientists 1. _ (cover) a 500-square-metre area with these blankets. This way the glacier didn’t take 2. _ the sun’s heat,which reduced melting 3. _ about 34 per cent from August 2020 to October 2021. Another test used super-thin blankets made of nanofiber (纳米纤维)at Urumqi Glacier No. 1 in Northwest China. The test showed that they reduced melting by up to 70 per cent during the 4. _ (hot) months. Scientists also make artificial (人造的)snow for glaciers 5. _ (stay) cooler and melt 6. _ (slowly). In April and May 2023,Chinese scientists did this in the Qilian Mountains.

The first of these far-off planets was discovered (发现) in 1988. So far, astronomers (天文学家) have found more than 3,500 such planets, and they think there are a lot more. Astronomers have found many of them using a special space telescope. This telescope can see very far into space. Many of these planets go around their own star, like our planet goes around the sun. A few of these planets even go around two stars. However, some of these planets are by themselves and do not go around a star. Astronomers cannot see these planets with their eyes. Instead, they use some special ways to find out where the planets are and what they are like. We know that these planets are very far away from us, we know some things about the planets even though they come in all kinds of colors and sizes. Some of the planets appear to be red or blue, and they can be much bigger than Jupiter (木星). Some of these planets also seem to be made of the same kinds of things as can be found on the Earth. A number of the far-off planets seem to be completely solid and made of rocks, and they are hotter than Jupiter, too. While far-off planets are interesting, there is an important reason why astronomers are looking at them. Astronomers want to find a planet like Earth. They think that there may be some out there that have air and water like Earth. Such planets, astronomers believe, may also support life on them. That would surely be something to find! So astronomers keep finding. Who knows what they will find out there? 1.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _. A. telescopes B. planets C. astronomers D. stars 2.How does the writer explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By using old sayings. D. By telling stories. 3.What's the writer's attitude (态度) towards “keep searching for new planets”? A. Supportive. B. Unsure. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 4.Which is the best title for the passage? A. Far-off Planets: Our New Home B. Welcome to Far-off Planets C. An Eye on Far-off Planets D. Discoveries on Far-off Planets 完形填空(难度: ) Dr. Joseph Dituri, also known as “Dr. Deep Sea”, has finished an amazing adventure. Beginning on March 1, the University of South Florida 1. _ lived in a small room underwater for 100 days. He set a 2. _ world record, breaking the old record of 73 days. The 3. _ you go below the sea’s surface, the greater the pressure (压力) is. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn 4. _ this pressure would influence (影响) the human body over time. In his undersea room, Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed 5. _. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching college classes for over 5,500 students from 15 different countries, and even had 6. _ talks with his students. Dr. Dituri worked with other experts to find out ways to protect and 7. _ the sea. The doctor had a number of 8. _ who dove down to spend a little time with him. He was also regularly checked out by a medical team. Dr. Dituri said what he missed the most 9. _ he was underwater was sunshine. On June 9, Dr. Dituri 10. _ to the surface, where he was finally able to see the sun again. Many friends, family, and supporters were there to celebrate his 11. _. “The human body has 12. _ been underwater that long.

This is because it helps animals find food when it’s not easily available. Insects such as bees and ants are known to do this. A recent study has found that the butterfly also has ability of spatial learning. This butterfly comes from South and Central America. And it’s famous for different types of wing patterns. In the study, the research team carried out spatial learning experiments (实验) on butterflies under three different spatial conditions. First, they tested the insect’s ability to learn where the real food was in a 1-square-meter space made up of 16 fake flowers. This test represented (代表) looking for food in a single area. And they tested if the butterflies could learn to connect food with either the left or right side of a 3-square-meter two-armed maze (迷宫), representing many plants at a single place. The team then increased the distances again. They used large outdoor cages to test if the butterflies could learn where the food was in a 60-meter-wide maze. This maze looks like the letter T. This test represented looking for food in the wild. This was closer to the conditions in which the insect finds food in the wild. The experiments on butterflies show signs of spatial learning—they can remember the spatial location of their food. In the future studies, the team plans to test if they are better at spatial learning than closely-related species (近亲物种). 1.Why is spatial learning important to animals? A. It helps animals find food more easily. B. It makes it possible for animals to keep in touch. C. It helps animals to find the best place to live. D. It improves the animals’ ability to have a family. 2. Which of the following can be put in “ ”? A. In fact, all butterflies are good travelers. B. Then the team introduced another butterfly. C. Next, the team made the space a little bigger. D. The insects have been found to have other skills. 3.How was the third experiment different from the first two? A. It was done in a real, natural environment. B. It found out the way the butterfly makes friends. C. It studies the butterfly’s memory of flower colors. D. It offered a more realistic experimental condition. 4.What’s the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) 阅读七选五(难度: ) At the end of 2024, an airplane crashed at an airport in South Korea. Just two of the 181 people on board were alive. It is the worst plane crash in the country’s history. While the exact cause of the accident is still unclear, it’s possible a bird strike could be responsible. 1._ It’s actually very common. In the U.S., more than 19,600 wildlife strikes were reported in 2023. Most of them involved birds. And there were over 1,400 bird strikes in the U.K. in 2022. But generally there’s no need to worry. Most bird strikes don’t cause deaths or serious injuries. Planes go through strict tests during manufacturing (制造). 2. _ In very few cases, engines may break down when birds are sucked into them. However, pilots often have time to make an emergency landing. 3._ For example, a Canada goose can weigh up to 14 pounds. At high speeds, it’s like a bowling ball colliding (碰撞) with a window. “That kind of damage gets expensive,” said Shawn Pruchnicki, who was a pilot and now teaches aviation safety at Ohio State University. Many airports are built near waterways and landfills, Pruchnicki notes. Bird activities are frequent (频繁的) in these areas. 4. _ “We’re kind of invading (入侵) their space,” he said. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, 90% of bird strikes happen near airports. 5. _ Airports worldwide have tried many different ways to keep birds and other animals away. They’ve achieved some success, but more efforts are needed. “In the end,” said Pruchnicki, “we need to find out how we can coexist.” A. This results in collisions between nature and planes. B. A bird strike is a collision between a bird and an airplane. C. Problems can arise, however, when larger birds collide with a plane. D. The influence of bird strike depends on many factors including the type of airplane. E. The timing is usually when planes are taking off, landing or flying at lower altitudes. F. Though not often reported, the problem of airplane-animal collisions at airports is serious. G. This means they are usually able to withstand bird strikes and will continue to run after a collision. 任务型阅读(难度: ) China has a large number of wetlands. The area of wetlands in China takes first place in Asia. There are some facts that you may be interested in. First of all, let’s learn about what wetlands are like. Wetlands usually have comfortable temperatures with lots of rain and wind. They are covered with water. The water is mostly groundwater, which comes from a nearby river or lake. Sea water can also create wetlands. Plants that live in wetlands really like water. Wetlands that have slow water running usually grow trees. However, wetlands that have a lot of water are mainly covered with moss. Well, what lives in the wetlands? The wetland forests in the Congo surround the Congo River. There are many tall trees. The forests make the environment wetter than other wetlands. The wetland is home to hundreds of kinds of insects and animals. The wetlands near the Mississippi River in Louisiana are the most famous in the United States. They are home to all kinds of fishes and birds. Wetlands can do a lot of good to us. They have a very deep influence on people and the earth. Wetlands have all kinds of plants and animals because wetlands provide food and living space for them. Besides, more O₂ comes from wetlands because of their well-developed ecosystems. Then the earth can take advantage of (利用) it to clean the air. Some wetlands are considered to be the best ecosystems on the earth. For humans, wetlands are valuable for fishing and hunting. What’s more, the ability of wetlands to take in water plays a great role during times of flood. Wetlands can also protect the shoreline and clean the polluted water. Wetlands have been called the “kidneys of the earth”. However, as the environment is becoming worse and worse, the area of wetlands in the world is getting smaller and smaller. Luckily, this has received much attention. Active actions are being taken. Humans can’t live without wetlands, so we must try our best to protect them.

It is the city’s first World Natural Heritage Site. Dongtan 1.1 _ at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Each year, nearly one million birds stop there for short stays or wintering. To protect these birds, a nature reserve was set u 2. _ in Dongtan’s wetlands in 1998. In 2005, it became a national bird nature reserve. Since 1998, great e 3. _ have been made to protect the wetland ecosystem. One of the biggest challenges is to control cordgrass. This invasive (侵入的) plant was introduced in the mid-1990s to Chongming for shoreline protection. H 4. _, the grass grew too quickly across the Dongtan mudflats. As a result, many native plants died and the homes of birds were in danger. Starting from 2002, the reserve has tried a number of ways to get r 5. _ of these plants. Finally, a plan was worked out. The first step was to build physical barriers (屏障) to p 6. _ spread of the grass. Once the barriers were built, water was allowed into small areas. Above the water line, the grass was cut. Their roots (根) were left underwater for half a year. This effectively k 7. _ these roots. When the soil dried out, native plants were replanted. The method has proved to be s 8. _. “Our bird monitoring results have shown a great increase in the population (数量) of birds here,” said a worker at the reserve. One e 9. _ is the little swans. “The population monitored in Dongtan in the 1990s was 3,000 to 3,500. In 2000, the number of little swans d 10. _ quickly. But during the recent wintering season, we counted more than 2,900 little swans,” said another staff member. He added that many birds are arriving at Dongtan because its improved ecosystem offers the perfect homes. 参考答案 首字母填空1 1. 1 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 1. offer 2. pollution 3.
