M:The fish sounds nice. Can I get that with a side salad
(Text 5)
W:Is the River Thames still polluted
M:It certainly used to be. I remember it used to smell awful, and if you fell in, you had to be taken to hospital.
W:That sounds terrible!
M:But in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact it's now one of the cleanest city rivers in the UK.
(Text 6)
W:Hello, Jack! It's Emily.

M:Ah, yes. It's the same in our country. What about smoking
W:It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you're under 16.
M:That's a good law. Most countries have many teens that smoke.
W:Yes, it has actually become a serious social problem for us here. Okay, the biggest thing you'll need to watch out for is our traffic, as it's quite different from that in other countries. You should be careful when crossing the road, as the traffic moves on the left side of the road here. Always use the crossing for walking.
M:Yes, it's really unique!
W:And don't take any chances when crossing the road. I think the last thing you should be aware of is littering. It is against the law to throw away rubbish on the streets or in other public places. Whenever you have something to throw away, just put it in one of the litter bins along the road, or just put it in your pocket and throw it away at home.
M:Thanks so much for telling me all this.

Hello, everyone. Today, I'm going to share with you a little about the kinds of foods that English people eat.
A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, fried bread, mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes and baked beans, but most English people today prefer a breakfast of hot or cold grain, juice, and a warm drink of either tea or coffee.
The English lunch is normally eaten between 12:00 noon and 1:30 pm, and most often consists of a sandwich. Along with the sandwich, an English person might have a bag of potato chips, fruit or biscuits. A glass of beer might also be added to lunch if the person eats in one of the many pubs; otherwise, a tea or coffee. Fish and chips, often wrapped in a piece of paper, are still a favorite among English diners.
The afternoon tea is simply a time to snack on a bag of potato chips or a few biscuits, and drink a quick cup of tea or coffee. Tiny cakes and sweets are often eaten as well. Tea is also an old fashioned term for dinner; some English people still say “tea” when they mean the last main meal of the day.

A
We look ahead to London's art and exhibition openings and select the must see shows.
Double science
It's a big month for the Science Museum, with a new gallery and an exhibition opening.The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city — from Newton's laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us.If that isn't enough, there's also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550-1800:The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum.12 September-13 October, free.
The Art of Innovation: From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.25 September-26 January, free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet
We all suffer from anxiety.Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage.The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualised in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge:Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery.19 September-19 January, free.
Climbing the walls
No artist has made a bigger career out of placing sculptures of human figures all over the place.Antony Gormley, the artist behind the Angel of the North and sculptures standing all over London, takes over the Royal Academy of Arts with a blockbusting (轰动一时的) exhibition.This is the hot art ticket in town.
Antony Gormley at Royal Academy of Arts.21 October-3 December,£18-22.

I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way.I went there several times a week with my mother when I was young.Those visits were fantastic.The library might have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy (自主权).In the library,I could have anything I wanted.And on the ride back to home,my mom and I would talk about the order in which we were going to read our books, a solemn conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books were due.
When I left for college, one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my mom was that I was wild about owning books.All I know is that I lost my appreciation of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed time.If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some book at the library, I got annoyed and asked why she didn't just buy it.
But in 2011, one of my son's school assignments was to interview someone who worked for the city.He said he wanted to interview a librarian.As my son and I drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity,a recollection of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library.I had taken this trip so many times before, but at that moment I turned my thought on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.
As I walked into the library, nothing had changed—the sense of gentle, steady busyness, like a pot of water on a rolling boil (沸点), was just the same.In the library, time is dammed up—not just stopped but saved.I knew what hooked me was the shock of familiarity I felt—the way it revealed my childhood, my relationship with my mom, my love of books.However, as I was rediscovering those memories, my mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampate Ba once said that in Africa, whenever an old man dies, it is as though a library were burning down.But if you can take something from his or her internal collection and share it, it takes on a life of its own.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过自己的亲身经历,最终认识到了图书馆对她的价值,即它是承载无数记忆的地方。

C
They're orange, they're robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.
On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched a pair of Saildrones (海洋无人机) in Pacific Northwest waters for the first time.Their summer long sailing journey will stretch from Vancouver Island to California.The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons.The government wants to see whether seagoing robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.
Nora Cohen from NOAA said,“The 23 foot long seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time.And they don't require any fuel.We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.”He added,“It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people,and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in, and be able to send measurements back.”
The primary mission is to investigate the species and the number of fish in existence and the places where they are.Larry Hufnagle,scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA research ship based survey costs around $25,000 per day.By comparison, one Saildrone costs $ 2,500 per day.
“It could be a significant saving,” Hufnagle said.“But like anything else, there is a trade off in what you get and what you don't get.On the manned ship, we have limited time.It takes a lot of people.We spend a fair amount of money.But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do but humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below.The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”
Nora Cohen said Saildrone, a venture capital backed company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year.The Bering and Arctic seas, Coastal California and the Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海洋无人机的相关情况。
28.What is the purpose of collecting fish data
A.To explore the ocean.
B.To assist fishing industry.
C.To learn the habits of fish.
D.To improve fishing skills.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知,海洋无人机操作员收集鱼类数据的目的是协助渔业。
29.What is mainly discussed about the Saildrone in Paragraph 3
A.Its advantages.
B.Its appearance.
C.Its power systems.
D.Its primary mission.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,本段主要介绍了海洋无人机遵循远程编程航线的时间长,不需要任何燃料,能进入不想让人进入的地方,能处于不想让人处于的天气中,且能发回测量的结果,以上这些都是它的优势。
30.What does the underlined word “trade off” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Debate. B.Reason.
C.Reality. D.Balance.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的内容可知,海洋无人机可以省一大笔开销,但是也有我们人类可以做到而海洋无人机无法做到的事情,即它有利有弊,我们要权衡得失,故D项与画线词意思最接近。
31.What can be inferred from the text
A.The Saildrone has a promising future.
B.Hufnagle thinks little of the Saildrone.
C.Manned ships will be completely replaced.
D.Production of seagoing robots is restricted.
解析:选A 推理判断题。综合全文可知,海洋无人机具有使用成本低、遵循远程编程航线的时间长、不需要任何燃料、能进入不想让人进入的地方且能发回测量的结果等优点,能够帮助确定未来的捕鱼季节及进行渔业调查;且在最后一段谈到Saildrone公司今年将预计总共推出11款远洋航行机器人,为NOAA调查不同的水体。由此可推知,海洋无人机有好的前景。
D
Two unusual groups—the same companies that are causing the most pollution, the BP oil company and Delta Air Lines, both announced plans to become carbon neutral (碳中和) by 2050 through decreasing resource usage as well as applying useful technology.Several other large oil companies, like Shell, Total,and Eni, have announced similar goals.Other airlines, like Qantas and JetBlue, are working on the same plan.Since airline travel causes around 2% ~3% of the world's greenhouse gases,making airlines carbon neutral would be a great step.Some people believe the companies are “greenwashing”.They are running the businesses the way they used to perform, and none plan to stop their polluting activities right away.Or some companies plan to meet some climate goals by buying“carbon offsets (补偿)”, which means paying someone else to cut pollution or remove greenhouse gases.But it's not always clear that offsetting truly lowers pollution.
Global heating is a huge part of the climate emergency.The world is getting hotter mainly because humans are burning “fossil (化石) fuels” like coal and oil.These fuels give off pollutants often called greenhouse gases.To become carbon neutral, it's necessary to stop burning fossil fuels.Climate experts have said the best solution is to leave oil and coal in the ground, although it's still hard to reach for the moment.The usual way most companies adopt is planting trees and allowing more areas for forest.“It's slow but good,” said an expert from UNEP.
Man made technology to remove large quantities of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere doesn't exist yet.The idea behind this technology is that polluting gases could be removed from the atmosphere, caught, and stored somehow—usually underground.Though many questions remain about how the companies hope to meet their goals, since the main technology they expect and need is inaccessible, their planned changes are actually keeping up with the development of modern society.What's more, they are putting billions of dollars into the effort to make carbon catch technology happen.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。为减少大气中的温室气体,世界上几家大的石油公司和航空公司相继宣布成为“碳中和”公司的计划,减少碳排放量。
32.Why do some people say the companies mentioned in Paragraph 1 are greenwashing
A.Because they just buy carbon offsets.
B.Because they pay lip service to environmental issues.
C.Because they all plan to be carbon neutral.
D.Because they do not share a common plan and goal.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的They are running ...lowers pollution.可知,有人认为这些公司在“漂绿”,是因为他们实际上还是在以过去的方式经营企业,没有人打算立即停止污染活动,或者他们计划通过购买“碳补偿”来实现这些气候目标,但人们并不总是清楚碳补偿行为是否真的能降低污染。也就是说,关于环境污染问题,他们只是口头上说说,未采取行动。pay lip service to指“对……只予以口头上的支持”,故选B。
33.What is the existing way to reduce greenhouse gases
A.Expanding forest coverage.
B.Stopping burning fossil fuels.
C.Catching and storing the gases.
D.Closing down polluting factories.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The usual way most companies adopt is ...said an expert from UNEP.可知,现在最可行的办法就是多种树,扩大森林面积,故A项“扩大森林覆盖率”符合题意。
34.What is the author's attitude to the announcement by the companies
A.Ambiguous. B.Skeptical.
C.Positive. D.Critical.
解析:选C 观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者认为虽然这些公司需要的碳捕获技术还没有开发出来,但他们的这些计划(成为“碳中和”公司)跟上了现代社会的发展,此外,他们正投入数十亿美元来实现碳捕获技术。由此推知,作者对此的态度是积极的。
35.What's the best title for the text
A.What Possibly Leads to Global Heating
B.Companies Take on Climate Emergency
C.Who Are Responsible for Greenhouse Gases
D.Technology for Climate Change Is on the Way
解析:选B 标题归纳题。文章第一段谈到了很多企业纷纷宣布成为“碳中和”公司或计划购买“碳补偿”来实现气候目标;第二段谈到了温室效应与缓解方法;第三段谈到了碳捕获技术的开发以及作者对企业成为“碳中和”公司的行动的态度。

Hollywood (好莱坞) movies are regularly filled with violence.They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light hearted entertainment.
So have you heard of Bollywood All singing, all dancing and unrealistic,it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies.Bollywood is the Indian film industry,based in Mumbai,formerly known as Bombay. 36 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world.This year the Indian Filmfare Awards,Bollywood's Oscars,turn 64 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients:a cup of romance,a teaspoon of comedy,a dash of international sightseeing,served with a huge slice of singing and dancing.There will also be one brave hero,one beautiful heroine and one baddie (坏人). 37
Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 38 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song.But the audience don't mind.To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven.The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles.The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
39 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes family values.In most films,if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage,they can't just run away.They must win over their parents.
Bollywood films are decent refreshing replacements for those excessively stimulating Hollywood films. 40 They will take you to a brighter,more cheerful and colorful world,where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.
A.There is little mention of politics,poverty and war.
B.Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.
C.Bollywood films give the false impression that all the Indians are happy and romantic.
D.Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.
E.The result is a fun filled musical.
F.Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.
G.So if you're tired of all Hollywood actions,check out the Bollywood films.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印度宝莱坞电影的特点,如营造理想化、没有日常烦恼的世界。
36.选D 根据该空后的Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world.中的Yet可知,该空的内容与这句话形成对比,而D项(大多数中国学生可能从未看过一部印度电影)可以与之形成对比,符合语境。
37.选E 本段主要介绍了宝莱坞电影的构成要素,如浪漫、喜剧、音乐、舞蹈,由此可知,其结果应是一个充满乐趣的音乐剧。故选E。
38.选A 根据空前一句Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries.可知,宝莱坞电影充满了理想的东西,没有日常的烦恼。又结合本段其他内容可推知,A项(几乎没提到政治、贫穷和战争)与此处匹配。
39.选F 根据该空后的Behind the beautiful scenes,Bollywood still emphasizes family values.可知,本段讲的是宝莱坞电影对传统价值观的关注。故选F。
40.选G 空前一句表述宝莱坞电影是好莱坞电影的相当不错的、别具一格的替代品,故G项(如果你厌倦了好莱坞的所有动作片,那么了解一下宝莱坞的电影)与此处匹配。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chinese are the first people to have tea.One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called The Classic of Tea, 56 is honoured as “The Bible of Tea”.The book gives a detailed 57 (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.
However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea 58 (it).Take green tea for instance, the ideal temperature of the water should be around 80 degrees Celsius.If the water is too hot, nutrients (营养) in the tea 59 (destroy).On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea 60 (leaf) won't open and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor.So Chinese people are accustomed 61 drinking hot tea.When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will 62 (constant) add hot water to your empty cup of tea.It is polite 63 (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands.Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, 64 (take) the cup with both hands.
Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is 65 saying: Wine full, full cup.Tea half, half cup.For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness.For tea, the half cup means modesty.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国茶文化的历史、喝热茶的原因、喝茶礼仪以及关于茶的俗语等。
56.which 分析句子结构可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The Classic of Tea,空处为关系词,指物,故填which。
57.explanation 根据空前的detailed可知,空处被形容词修饰,故用explain的名词形式。
58.itself 句意:然而,中国的茶文化远超过茶本身。据此可知,空处用反身代词itself。
59.will be destroyed 根据语境可知,主语nutrients in the tea和动词destroy之间为被动关系,故用被动语态;根据该句结构可知,该句为复合句,在if引导的条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时,主句则用一般将来时,故空处用一般将来时的被动语态。
60.leaves 根据常识可知,该处的茶叶为复数概念。
61.to be accustomed to为固定搭配,意为“习惯于……”。
62.constantly 根据空后的动词add可知,空处修饰该动词,故用副词形式。
63.to offer 分析句子结构可知,该句使用了固定句式“It+is/was+adj.+to do sth.”, It为形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语。
64.taking 分析句子结构可知,空处作伴随状语,且take与其逻辑主语the guests之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词。
65.a 该处泛指“一句俗语”,且saying的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We have a pit bull (比特犬).We found him a few weeks ago, walking along the road in a rural area.He was jumping on cars, and we thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by.A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still in the same place, again, trying to get folks to stop for him.When he saw us, he lay down in the middle of the road, so we were unable to get around him.
We stopped the car and looked around for a few minutes, trying to figure out if anyone was around from whom he was separated.It didn't appear so.Then, we took a good look at the dog.He had no collar and he was really thin.We decided he was abandoned.
My husband said, “If he doesn't bite me when I try to pick him up to put him in the car, then we have a new dog.” The dog happily joined us with no fight at all.The only thing we were in danger of was getting licked to death.He kept sticking his head between the two front seats and thanking us for picking him up.
The dog was clearly on the road for some time.He was extremely underweight.He was covered in scars and new wounds.We have guessed that some of the scars were from when he was on the road.We thought of possible fights with coyotes, but he also looked as though he was used to fighting other dogs.We figured his incredibly sweet personality was the reason he was abandoned.He can't have been a good fighting dog.
Therefore, we fed him a lot over the course of the next two weeks and he gained over twenty pounds.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
We took him to the vet.
Now we all love the dog very much.He once helped save me from trouble.
参考范文:
We took him to the vet.The vet said the dog appears to be in good health, despite his having been abandoned.He figured out the dog is about two or three years of age, from the condition of his teeth.Then the vet gave him all the required shots and applied some medicine to the scars and new wounds.About a month later, the dog changed into a strong and lovely one.He is both sweet and gentle.
Now we all love the dog very much.He once helped save me from trouble.One day my husband went to work in a hurry, forgetting to turn off the gas.I was sleeping soundly when I heard the dog barking like crazy.I was woken up, realising something unusual must have happened in our house.It turned out that the house was filled with gas, which made me in danger.I owed it to the dog that I avoided a disaster.Since then, the pit bull has become a member of our family.

We look ahead to London's art and exhibition openings and select the must see shows.
Double science
It's a big month for the Science Museum, with a new gallery and an exhibition opening.The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city — from Newton's laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us.If that isn't enough, there's also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550-1800:The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum.12 September-13 October, free.
The Art of Innovation: From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.25 September-26 January, free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet
We all suffer from anxiety.Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage.The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualised in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge:Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery.19 September-19 January, free.
Climbing the walls
No artist has made a bigger career out of placing sculptures of human figures all over the place.Antony Gormley, the artist behind the Angel of the North and sculptures standing all over London, takes over the Royal Academy of Arts with a blockbusting (轰动一时的) exhibition.This is the hot art ticket in town.
Antony Gormley at Royal Academy of Arts.21 October-3 December,£18-22.
21.What is on show in the Science City gallery
A.Some of the greatest physicists.
B.The stories of the London development.
C.The prediction of the future science.
D.Some of the great achievements in history.
22.Which exhibition allows visitors to get a feeling in a new way
A.The Art of Innovation.
B.On Edge.
C.Royal Academy of Arts.
D.Science City 1550—1800.
23.When can visitors see these four exhibitions altogether
A.In January. B.In September.
C.In October. D.In December.

I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way.I went there several times a week with my mother when I was young.Those visits were fantastic.The library might have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy (自主权).In the library,I could have anything I wanted.And on the ride back to home,my mom and I would talk about the order in which we were going to read our books, a solemn conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books were due.
When I left for college, one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my mom was that I was wild about owning books.All I know is that I lost my appreciation of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed time.If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some book at the library, I got annoyed and asked why she didn't just buy it.
But in 2011, one of my son's school assignments was to interview someone who worked for the city.He said he wanted to interview a librarian.As my son and I drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity,a recollection of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library.I had taken this trip so many times before, but at that moment I turned my thought on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.
As I walked into the library, nothing had changed—the sense of gentle, steady busyness, like a pot of water on a rolling boil (沸点), was just the same.In the library, time is dammed up—not just stopped but saved.I knew what hooked me was the shock of familiarity I felt—the way it revealed my childhood, my relationship with my mom, my love of books.However, as I was rediscovering those memories, my mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampate Ba once said that in Africa, whenever an old man dies, it is as though a library were burning down.But if you can take something from his or her internal collection and share it, it takes on a life of its own.
24.What can be inferred about the author's childhood from Paragraph 1
A.She lived near a library.
B.She possessed a library.
C.She didn't borrow books from libraries.
D.She enjoyed visits to libraries.
25.How did the author change after entering college
A.She lost her enthusiasm for reading.
B.She did not return books on time.
C.She quit the habit of going to libraries.
D.She wanted to buy books for her mom.
26.What did the author rediscover when she walked into the library with her son
A.Her love of libraries.
B.Her delight in owning books.
C.Her lost memory of her mom.
D.Her familiarity with her mom.
27.Which can be a suitable title for this passage
A.The Library—A World of Knowledge
B.The Library—A Place of Memory
C.The Library—A Busy Place
D.The Library—An Old Man
C
They're orange, they're robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.
On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched a pair of Saildrones (海洋无人机) in Pacific Northwest waters for the first time.Their summer long sailing journey will stretch from Vancouver Island to California.The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons.The government wants to see whether seagoing robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.
Nora Cohen from NOAA said,“The 23 foot long seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time.And they don't require any fuel.We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.”He added,“It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people,and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in, and be able to send measurements back.”
The primary mission is to investigate the species and the number of fish in existence and the places where they are.Larry Hufnagle,scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA research ship based survey costs around $25,000 per day.By comparison, one Saildrone costs $ 2,500 per day.
“It could be a significant saving,” Hufnagle said.“But like anything else, there is a trade off in what you get and what you don't get.On the manned ship, we have limited time.It takes a lot of people.We spend a fair amount of money.But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do but humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below.The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”
Nora Cohen said Saildrone, a venture capital backed company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year.The Bering and Arctic seas, Coastal California and the Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.
28.What is the purpose of collecting fish data
A.To explore the ocean.
B.To assist fishing industry.
C.To learn the habits of fish.
D.To improve fishing skills.
29.What is mainly discussed about the Saildrone in Paragraph 3
A.Its advantages.
B.Its appearance.
C.Its power systems.
D.Its primary mission.
30.What does the underlined word “trade off” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Debate. B.Reason.
C.Reality. D.Balance.
31.What can be inferred from the text
A.The Saildrone has a promising future.
B.Hufnagle thinks little of the Saildrone.
C.Manned ships will be completely replaced.
D.Production of seagoing robots is restricted.
D
Two unusual groups—the same companies that are causing the most pollution, the BP oil company and Delta Air Lines, both announced plans to become carbon neutral (碳中和) by 2050 through decreasing resource usage as well as applying useful technology.Several other large oil companies, like Shell, Total,and Eni, have announced similar goals.Other airlines, like Qantas and JetBlue, are working on the same plan.Since airline travel causes around 2% ~3% of the world's greenhouse gases,making airlines carbon neutral would be a great step.Some people believe the companies are “greenwashing”.They are running the businesses the way they used to perform, and none plan to stop their polluting activities right away.Or some companies plan to meet some climate goals by buying“carbon offsets (补偿)”, which means paying someone else to cut pollution or remove greenhouse gases.But it's not always clear that offsetting truly lowers pollution.
Global heating is a huge part of the climate emergency.The world is getting hotter mainly because humans are burning “fossil (化石) fuels” like coal and oil.These fuels give off pollutants often called greenhouse gases.To become carbon neutral, it's necessary to stop burning fossil fuels.Climate experts have said the best solution is to leave oil and coal in the ground, although it's still hard to reach for the moment.The usual way most companies adopt is planting trees and allowing more areas for forest.“It's slow but good,” said an expert from UNEP.
Man made technology to remove large quantities of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere doesn't exist yet.The idea behind this technology is that polluting gases could be removed from the atmosphere, caught, and stored somehow—usually underground.Though many questions remain about how the companies hope to meet their goals, since the main technology they expect and need is inaccessible, their planned changes are actually keeping up with the development of modern society.What's more, they are putting billions of dollars into the effort to make carbon catch technology happen.
32.Why do some people say the companies mentioned in Paragraph 1 are greenwashing
A.Because they just buy carbon offsets.
B.Because they pay lip service to environmental issues.
C.Because they all plan to be carbon neutral.
D.Because they do not share a common plan and goal.
33.What is the existing way to reduce greenhouse gases
A.Expanding forest coverage.
B.Stopping burning fossil fuels.
C.Catching and storing the gases.
D.Closing down polluting factories.
34.What is the author's attitude to the announcement by the companies
A.Ambiguous. B.Skeptical.
C.Positive. D.Critical.
35.What's the best title for the text
A.What Possibly Leads to Global Heating
B.Companies Take on Climate Emergency
C.Who Are Responsible for Greenhouse Gases
D.Technology for Climate Change Is on the Way

Hollywood (好莱坞) movies are regularly filled with violence.They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light hearted entertainment.
So have you heard of Bollywood All singing, all dancing and unrealistic,it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies.Bollywood is the Indian film industry,based in Mumbai,formerly known as Bombay. 36 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world.This year the Indian Filmfare Awards,Bollywood's Oscars,turn 64 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients:a cup of romance,a teaspoon of comedy,a dash of international sightseeing,served with a huge slice of singing and dancing.There will also be one brave hero,one beautiful heroine and one baddie (坏人). 37
Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 38 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song.But the audience don't mind.To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven.The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles.The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
39 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes family values.In most films,if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage,they can't just run away.They must win over their parents.
Bollywood films are decent refreshing replacements for those excessively stimulating Hollywood films. 40 They will take you to a brighter,more cheerful and colorful world,where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.
A.There is little mention of politics,poverty and war.
B.Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.
C.Bollywood films give the false impression that all the Indians are happy and romantic.
D.Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.
E.The result is a fun filled musical.
F.Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.
G.So if you're tired of all Hollywood actions,check out the Bollywood films.
