Rainwater in cities causes more troubles than wet feet.It carries away waste from rooftops and streets as it washes through cities.European scientists are now trying to work out how to deal with flooding rainwater.
In the city of Wetteren,Belgium,researchers are experimenting with seashells(贝壳).Millions of shells from the nearby North Sea are used to collect and treat rainwater from a shopping mall roof and a parking lot.The shells are laid below a surface drain(下水道) through which dirty water is carried away.With a 70% empty space that allows them to store rainwater,they're also a natural cleaning station,which is then used to water community gardens.
The experiment is part of a project called StopUP whose goal is to prevent rainwater from carrying pollutants(污染物) into lakes and rivers.The project's focus is to make sure that such wastewater,which can include everything from plastics to heavy metals,gets treated.
Thomas Jeffery,head of the College of Environmental Engineering in Germany,said a big knowledge gap can exist between the popular perception of rainwater and its true content.“Rainwater seems to be very clean,but when it washes the streets and roofs,it becomes full of dust and other harmful pollutants,” said Thomas.
In Europe,38% of surface waterbodies have different forms of pollutants,which run deep in the ground and damage soils,plants and animals,according to Julie Rosalie,director of the European Environment Agency.Human health depends on clean water for drinking,bathing and cooking,and now we are at risk because plants and animals are affected by chemicals in rivers,lakes and coastal waters.
“StopUP technologies and methods could provide tools to reduce rainwater pollution,” Rosalie said.“It has a positive effect on the quality of our common environment.”

1.What are the seashells in the experiment used for?
A.Clearing the polluted rainwater.
B.Repairing a shopping mall.
C.Making gardens more attractive.
D.Carrying away waste in cities.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“The shells are laid below a surface drain(下水道) through which dirty water is carried away...they're also a natural cleaning station”可知,实验中的贝壳被用来清理被污染的雨水。故选 A。

A.Promote the use of seashells.
B.Reuse plastics and heavy metals.
C.Experiment ways to treat rainwater.

C.Style. D.Tendency.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“a big knowledge gap”以及下文“Rainwater seems to be very clean...it becomes full of dust and other harmful pollutants”可知,人们对雨水的普遍理解与其真实所含物之间可能存在很大的知识鸿沟。故画线词的意思是“认识,理解”,与A项意思相近,故选 A。

Not all birds sing,but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot.
Iris Adam,a scientist at the University of Southern Denmark,says birds have “a drive to sing”.This means hours every day for some species,and that takes a lot of energy.However,singing can be dangerous.“As soon as you sing,you show yourself,for example,where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators(捕食性动物),for everybody,” she says.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications,Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk and whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise.Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds.Her experiment included keeping male birds in the dark to sever the connection between their brains and their singing muscles,which prevented them from singing.
After a week,the birds' singing muscles lost half of their strength.Three weeks later,they were back to the same level when they were baby birds and never had sung before.When Adam played one of the male's songs for a group of female birds,six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who had been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam's conclusion is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance songs.If they don't sing,they lose performance,and their songs get less attractive to females,which is bad.
“What they stress is that you need a lot of practice to improve what you're doing,” says Ana Amador,a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires.It's a good rule to live by,whether you're a bird or a human—practice makes perfect,at least when it comes to singing one's heart out.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于鸟为什么总是鸣唱的研究。
5.Why can singing be dangerous for birds?
A.It can drive predators to sing.
B.It can destroy their areas.
C.It can attract predators.
D.It does damage to their muscles.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘As soon as you sing,you show yourself,for example,where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators(捕食性动物),for everybody,’ she says.”可知,歌唱对鸟类来说是危险的,因为它会吸引捕食者。故选C。
6.What does the underlined word“sever” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Remember. B.End.
C.Risk. D.Keep.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the connection between their brains and their singing muscles,which prevented them from singing”可知,她的实验包括把雄鸟关在黑暗中,中断它们大脑和唱歌肌肉之间的联系,这阻止了它们唱歌。故画线词的意思可能是“结束,终止”,与B项意思相近。故选 B。
7.What do we know about Adam's experiment?
A.It mainly focused on male birds and juveniles.
B.It aimed to protect zebra finches from possible risks.
C.It strengthened birds' singing muscles in four weeks.
D.It proved exercising singing muscles matters to birds.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Adam's conclusion is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance songs.”可知,亚当的实验证明锻炼歌唱肌肉对鸟类很重要。故选 D。
8.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Iris Adam's Work Is a Big Success
B.Singing Can Be Dangerous for Birds
C.Birds Sing to Keep Muscles in Shape
D.Birds and Human Beings Need Practice
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。根据倒数第二段中“Adam's conclusion is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance songs.”并结合文章主要介绍了科学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于鸟为什么总是鸣唱的研究可知,C选项“鸟唱歌是为了保持歌唱肌肉的良好状态”最适合作本文的标题。故选C。
