Bick's solution to the problem of pest detection is sound:Eavesdropping on the unique vibrations()that an
insect makes when chewing on a plant to identify the insect itself.The Insect Eavesdropper uses a contact microphone,an
affordable device that musicians often use on instruments.A little disc sits on a solid object-like com-and captures the
vibrations moving through it,registering each one with an electrical signal."When corn rootworm feeds on the roots,the
vibration translates from the root system to the stalk,"Bick says."That's where we're picking it up.We're using the plant
as the musical instrument,as essentially the outside of a guitar."
Bick and her colleagues'findings aren't published yet,but as of now,their detection method is anywhere from 80%
to 96%accurate.The team are still working on the data-processing pipeline,but hope they can get the Insect
Eavesdropper on the shelf in a couple of years.Their goal is to advance pest detection-and maybe inspire people to
listen to everything a little closer.
13.What is Bick's purpose in working in the com field?
A.To prepare for a concert.
B.To arrange for a study.
C.To make the show special
D.To innovate planting ways.
14.Why is corn rootworm named "billion-dollar bug"?
A.Its nutrient is rich.
B.It causes great loss.
C.Its number is limited.
D.It brings huge profits
15.What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The corn.
B.The signal.
C.The system.
D.The vibration.
16.Which of the following words can best describe the Insect Eavesdropper?
A.Perfect.
B.Inspiring
C.Promising.
D.Purchasable.

〈高频考点
研析透
应用文是一种非常贴近日常生活的文体,包括通知、广告、便条、申请书、个人简介、商品说明与介绍等,形式

From forgotten beaches,ancient castles to soaring desert dunes(),Morocco boasts the best locations for
hiking,surfing,swimming and sleeping under the stars.
Anti-Atlas Mountains
Extending from the Atlantic coast to the edge of the Sahara and with a huge variety of terrain,the Anti-Atlas
Mountains cater for even the most indecisive traveller.Above all,Anti-Atlas is agadir country (the word means wall).
The landscape is dotted with these remarkable walls.Built from stone and clay,they were typically set on hilltops or cliffs
to provide protection from attack.
040
The Mediterranean coast
Unlike Morocco's Atlantic coast,the country's Mediterranean coastline is a less well-known destination.Of all the
beaches in this area,Plage Ihttpyen is the best.Hidden from view behind two enormous red cliffs east of Port Sidi Hsain,
and accessible only by a steep rocky path,it's an incredible peaceful and picturesque spot,with crystalline waves
lapping against the pebble shore and curious rock formations rising from the waves.
Agadir
Founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese,Agadir quickly became a booming trading post,growing rich on the
profits of sugar and spices.In 1960,an earthquake destroyed most of the city and paved the way for its rebirth as a tourist
resort.This is the place if you're seeking sun,sand and surf;the coastline around Agadir is the heartland of Morocco's
surf scene and you don't have to look far to discover quieter surfing beaches.
Merzouga
Located at the edge of the Sahara's shifting sands,Merzouga has become one of the main desert centers for
travellers.The drive there involves a dramatic journey over high mountains and remote river valleys,a panorama()
outshone only by the view at the end of the road:the soaring dunes of Erg Chebbi stand in magnificence on the horizon.
Climb to the top of the 150-metre-high dunes after the winter rains and you can gaze down on to Merzouga Lake,a
watering hole frequented by a colony of flamingos and occasional camel herders.
7.What do we know about the Anti-Atlas Mountains?
A.They serve as a trade center.
B.They overlook the Arctic Ocean.
C.They feature defensive structures.
D.They attract desert enthusiasts.
8.What do Agadir and Merzouga have in common?
A.Peaceful coastline views.
B.Unique animal experiences.
C.Beautiful natural scenery
D.Magnificent desert dunes.
9.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A travel magazine.
B.A marine study.
C.A historical record.
D.A geography textbook.

Throughout our Junior year,my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at
our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay.Will the golden word "success"form in their minds when they
review our achievements?Or will they see the big word“fail”in red?The shadow of this mysterious(神秘的)
institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations.It is a well-known fact,especially in my school,
that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule.When asked why they chose so many AP
classes,my friends responded:"I don't know."They themselves don't know why they are following the crowd and
longing for the pressures of academic difficulty.Therefore,they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically
challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a
norm set by top universities.Determined to follow my instincts()on what I felt success means,I only chose two是特别的,是强大的年轻艺术家,并且有很好的想法,为年轻
艺术家提供展示的机会,由此可推知,Nalin的独特性给Daid
Griffin留下了深刻印象。

满足。
ll.C句意猜测题。根据画线部分前文“My posture still needs
work,my jumps aren't as high as I'd like,my hips wobble during
tums,and my gestures are far from perfect..”可知,作者的身体
在很多方面还存在不足,需要改进。
l2.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At50,'m finally a
ballerina,though I'm definitely not the kind anyone would pay to
see on stage.But I keep going because each class challenges me
and reminds me of what's possible.”及“Standing in my living
room,balancing on one leg with a rhinestone headband,dancing
just for myself,I felt like a total ballerina.”可推知,作者不在
乎自己是否能成为舞台上被人付费观看的专业舞者,她享受
为自己跳舞的过程,不在乎别人对她跳舞的看法。

result,20%of the crop is lost to the insect every year.”可知,
玉米根虫被命名为“十亿美元虫”因为它造成巨大损失。
15.D代词指代题。根据画线词上文“A little disc sits on a solid
object-like corn-and captures the vibrations moving through
it,registering each one with an electrical signal.When corn
rootworm feeds on the roots,the vibration translates from the root
system to the stalk,’Bick says..”以及后文“We're using the
plant as the musical instrument,as essentially the outside of a
guitar.”可知,比克主要通过玉米根虫啃食根部的震动来发
现这种虫子,画线词it指代前文中的the vibration。
l6.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The team are still working
on the data-processing pipeline,but hope they can get the Insect

Eavesdropper on the shelf in a couple of years.Their goal is to
