三.阅读理解
A
I work at a university in the US where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a “night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.
We're worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don't know whether there's enough food on the east coast for these birds. There's lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply (的确) don't have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.
It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it's wet. Oh, and it's so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me falling asleep.
But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory, where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!
( )1. What does the underline word “hugely” mean
A. Cheaply. B. Loudly.
C. Greatly. D. Carefully.
( )2. What does the writer's team hope to find about American black ducks
A. What they do at night.
B. What food they live on.
C. What animals like to stay with them.
D. What makes the east coast a good place for them.
( )3. When the writer spends a long time watching ducks, he _______.
A. often finds it is boring
B. is glad to be in a quiet place
C. doesn't like the high temperatures
D. sometimes finds it hard to stay awake
( )4. What does the writer say about working inside a lab over the summer
A. He enjoys the working place.
B. It's an important part of his job.
C. He will study the results by himself.
D. It's a good way to work with other people.
( )5. The writer writes the passage mainly to _______.
A. show us a new equipment
B. tell us what kind of work he does
C. give us advice on how to work in the dark
D. describe how he became a scientist on water birds
B
In 2015, US astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian astronaut Mikhail Korniyenko travelled to space. They lived for a year on the International Space Station （ISS）.
▲ Here is a small part of the book.
“I Can Look Down on the Earth”
From the ISS, I can look down on the earth. Some parts of the world are covered by gases（气体） from factories and cars. These parts make the earth look sick.
But one of my favourite parts is the Bahamas, which are islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean is a mix of deep and light blues. I am lucky to see it.
“My Room Is Small”
I’ve been here for three weeks already. Sometimes, I wake up and think I’m upside down.
My room is just big enough for me. I sleep in a sleeping bag.
However, from the outside, the station looks like huge cans（容器） connected to each other. It is about the size of a football field.
“The Hardest Thing Is Putting On Socks”
Getting dressed is a bit hard when you can’t “sit” or “stand”, but I’ve got used to it. The hardest thing is putting on my socks. There is no gravity（重力） to help me bend over（弯腰）. I have no trouble deciding what to wear. I wear the same things every day.
