青岛胶东国际机场正式运行
On August 12, Jiaodong International Airport in Qingdao was put into a full-time operation. Compared with Liuting International Airport, the new airport has a larger scale（规模）, with more than 4 times the size of the terminal and flight areas. The number of runways has changed from 1 to 2, and the number of stands has changed from 70 to 184. Jiaodong International Airport can provide space for more airlines and flights and serve more travelers from all directions.
Jiaodong International Airport is the only 4F-class airport in Shandong, which is the highest class of airports. It serves about 130 domestic destinations, and the air express connects to important domestic economic and population centers. The regional aviation（航空）operation network covers less developed cities. International and regional destinations include about 50 cities in Japan, South Korea, America and so on.

新型降温服或将面市
Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to 5℃ on these hot summer days Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile（纺织物）that can absorb body heat and re-emit（重发出）its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers（制造商）and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!
1. What is the purpose of the new invention
A. To warm up people’s body.
B. To cool people off in hot weather.
C. To detect the wearers’ temperature.
D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.
2. How does the special product work
A. By turning sunlight into energy.
B. By sending out absorbed heat.
C. By keeping heat out completely.
D. By using light colors to reflect sunlight.
3. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The invention needs further testing.
B. The previous studies lack evidence.
C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.
D. The new fabric applies to various situations.
4. The invention of the T-shirt may be an example of .
A. barking up the wrong tree

“目的地盲盒”机票成年轻人旅游新选择
A promotion（促销活动）offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one catch: The purchaser is not told where the flight is heading, nor when it will take off.
The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday. Labeled as a “destination blind box” on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather hassle-less booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they “lock in” their tickets, there is no going back.
“Destination blind box” is now a hot topic on China’s online platforms. “I believe young people are a big target demographic（特定年龄段人口）for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities. Like this one for instance, it doesn’t matter if they finally go or not. Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities,” said Fan, a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation（航空）clients.
Many people not only shared the screenshots of tickets they drew, some even came up with a tutorial to teach the booking procedure under the free cancelling policy. However, some others claimed it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants to be a profitable activity, the release of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems. It will not have popular airlines. The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive. If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan,” an expert in tourism suggested.
1. Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Benefit. B. Disadvantage. C. Mistake. D. Charm.
2. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The origin of “destination blind box”.
B. The popularity of “destination blind box”.
C. The original purpose of “destination blind box”.
D. The purchase introduction to “destination blind box”.
3. Why will “destination blind box” appeal to young people according to Fan
A. It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
B. It allows them to experience various adventures.
C. It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
D. It accords with their lifestyle and attitudes.
4. What can we infer about the promotion from the last paragraph
A. It makes it easy to get an ideal ticket.
B. It will not bring in any profit.
C. It still needs to be improved.

汉服的魅力
It had been a “long” and hard walk from home to the subway station for teenager Mandy Chan when she first put on hanfu in public. Chan is one of the founders of hanfu in Hong Kong. “It was a set with a cream-colored shirt, a brown jacket in China’s Ming dynasty style and a red pleated skirt made by me,” she recalled recently, almost 10 years later.
It was not the looks from others but her limited knowledge on the traditional Chinese clothing that had terrified her. Chan added, “If anyone had asked what I was wearing, or the history behind it, I would have been afraid I couldn’t tell them the whole picture.”
However, her uneasiness had gradually drifted away with more in-depth research on traditional Chinese culture. Hanfu was the traditional clothing of China’s Han ethnic group that was formed in the main residential areas of the Han people in ancient China. The historical clothing has untold stories and ideas in every detail. The cutting and stitching line in the middle part of hanfu fits the spine of the human body and helps people to dress properly. This design, which has transcended（超越）itself as mere decoration, points to the qualities of the wearers as upright and moderate（温和的）individuals.
“Instead of imitating people like what I used to do, I have jumped out of my comfort zone and found the style that suits me best,” Chan said. “Through hanfu, I have found myself and so many unexplored things in my life.” Chan added that she had found her lifelong passion through hanfu, which is a goal and dream that has never been absent from her life. Chan found she was not alone after falling in love with hanfu. She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has incorporated（使并入）hanfu into her everyday life.

电子零件短缺冲击汽车制造业
Carmakers — including BMW, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot — warned that the worldwide semiconductor processor（半导体处理器）shortage will continue in 2021 and beyond. The shortage has affected both production and sales of automobiles（汽车）.
Last year, carmakers had to shut down plants because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they have to compete with the consumer electronics industry for the limited supplies that were also affected by the health crisis.
Automobiles have become increasingly dependent on processors, also known as chips. They are needed for computers to help engines with better fuel economy and assist drivers in emergency braking. Without a good supply of chips, carmakers have centered production on higher-profit models. The higher prices keep their businesses going even though they are selling fewer cars.
Richard Palmer is the chief financial officer of Stellantis. The company sells cars under 14 brands including Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot. He said the company did not expect chip supply to improve before the last three months of the year. That would mean a production loss of around 1.4 million vehicles for 2021.
BMW, so far, has been less affected by the chip shortage than others. That is because of its strong relations with its suppliers. But the German carmaker warned that there will be more problems during the second half of this year. “The longer the supply bottlenecks（瓶颈）last, the more tense the situation is likely to become,” BMW chief financial officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement. “We expect production restrictions to continue in the second half of the year. Those restrictions will cause a lower number of sales,” he added.
German chipmaker Infineon Technologies confirmed the shortage. The company said the latest wave of COVID-19 cases slows the production of materials in Asia. And the amounts of goods available have now hit all-time lows. Reinhard Ploss is the Chief Executive Officer of Infineon. He told economists that sharply limited supplies are hurting the recovery of worldwide car markets. He observed that “it will take time to get back” to a balance between supply and demand. “In our view, this will take until well into 2022,” he added.
1. What is the problem faced by carmakers
A. The poor access to fuel.
B. The serious shortage of chips.
C. The great need to pay high taxes.
D. The lack of highly-trained workers.
2. How do carmakers deal with reduced sales
A. By producing high-priced cars.
B. By offering customers a discount.
C. By improving production technology.
D. By selling cars with lower fuel consumption.
3. Why is BMW less affected by the problem
A. It has a larger share of the market.
B. It has excellent design and quality.
C. It has support from the government.
D. It has a close bond with its suppliers.
4. What does Reinhard Ploss think of the problem
A. It is ignored by some companies.
B. It will get worse in the short run.
C. It still needs some time to be solved.
D. It will reduce people’s demand for cars.

Passage1，声学相机
A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting frame, resembles a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot rotate. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array of 144 sensors（传感器）used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar（雷达）for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.
Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.
Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which is far more accurate,” Wang said.
The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.
1. What can we know about the sound camera from paragraph 1
A. It is invented by Hu Wenlin.
B. It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.
C. It is fitted with many sensors to study noise.
D. It transforms sound information into images.
2. What does the underlined word “abatement” probably mean
A. Monitoring. B. Ranking. C. Reducing. D. Analyzing.
3. What highlights the sound camera according to paragraph 3
A. It is very easy to move. B. It consumes little energy.
C. It is available for everyone. D. It operates far more precisely.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Technology Frees People from Noise B. Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter
C. The Importance of Conducting Sound Research D. The Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life

passage2,00后比90后
While scientists are rushing to understand how the coronavirus works, researchers have long understood the toll（不良影响） that social isolation and loneliness take on the body. People who do not feel connected to others are more likely to catch a cold, experience depression, develop heart disease,have lower cognitive function and live a shorter life. In fact, the long-term harm caused by loneliness is similar to smoking or obesity.
In January,a national survey found that 79 percent of Gen Zers（90后）, 71 percent of millennials（千禧一代） and 50 percent of baby boomers（婴儿潮一代） feel lonely.Similarly, the proportion of people who belong to any kind of community group,such as a hobby club, sports league or volunteer group, fell from 75 to 57 percent over the past decade. Even without the coronavirus keeping us apart, it seems the majority of the population suffers from poor social health.
Although isolation is the right response to the coronavirus pandemic, we need the exact opposite in response to the loneliness epidemic. So how can you cultivate your social well-being while avoiding infection
An obvious answer is the device you are reading this article on. People often blame technology for the prevalence of loneliness, pointing out that we spend too much time scrolling through social media and not enough of it interacting IRL（在现实生活中）. Yet recent research by my colleagues at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health paints a more nuanced （微妙的）picture: how you use such platforms seems to matter more than how much you do so.
The next best thing to in-person interaction is video chat, because facial cues, body language and other nonverbal forms of communication are important for bonding. Getting lots of likes on a social media post may give you a fleeting hit of dopamine, but receiving a direct message or e-mail with a genuine compliment or expression of gratitude is more personal and longer lasting—without taking much more time. When you find yourself scrolling through people’s posts, stop and send one of them a few kind words. After all, we need a little extra kindness to counter the stress and uncertainty of the coronavirus.
1.According to the passage, the social isolation caused by Coronavirus brought people the following harm except___________.
A. obesity B.feeling depressed
C. Weakened cognitive function D.cutting the lifespan
2. How is the 2nd paragraph developed ___________
A.By analyzing causes and effects B. By showing examples
C.By presenting questions D. By listing statistics
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A.Isolation is beneficial to loneliness epidemic.
B.Only a minority of the population suffer from loneliness
C.People often attribute the loneliness to the technology.
D.How much you use the social media is more important than how you use it.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Making a good use of some social platforms can cultivate your social health.
B.The best in-person interaction is Wechat
C.We should give a like on people’s post instead of sending a kind message.
D.Some other nonverbal forms of communication are important for bonding

Passage2，游平遥古城
After reaching the ancient city of Pingyao, my first sight of the city was its famous wall, surrounding the whole city. The city is also known as u Turtle City" because of the wall’s structure. There are six gates along the wall. Four are symmetrically （对称地）set on the east and west sides, looking like the legs of a turtle. The southern and northern gates resemble the head and tail.
I thought of the city as a living museum. Its complete city wall, its common houses and shops and even its government offices were all preserved in the style of China's Ming and Qing Dynasties. Furthermore, it has retained the Han city features. It is a great resource for studying the social form, economic structure, military defense, traditional thinking, cultural values and dwellings（民居）of the country. Walking on the road, it's easy to imagine what life was like in times long gone, when Pingyao was the financial center of China.
The most important place is Rishengchang Exchange Shop. It is known as the “Father of Chinese Banking”. With more than 30 branches throughout the country, this bank allowed bills instead of gold and silver, allowing it to be used for business transactions （交易）. What this meant was that merchants going to other parts of the country to do business did not have to transport large quantities of gold or silver with them.
The only way to explore the city is on foot, since there are no cars allowed within the walls of the city. The night view of the street is amazing. Traditional lamps are lighted and red Chinese lanterns hang in front of every shop and house. More romantic are the dusty backstreets, where chickens find food from the ground and people ride bikes on the rough roads. I walked on top of the city walls, examining the awe-inspiring architectural designs. This carried my thoughts to the past, mixing ancient times and modem times. It's my first time to experience such a place.
1 How many gates are there on the east side of the wall
A.Two. B. Three. C. Four.D. Five.
2. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A.Pingyao has a living museum.
B.Pingyao is the only city with the Han city features.
C.Pingyao was the social and financial center of China.
D.Pingyao was very important in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
3. What would the merchants do in Rishengchang Exchange Shop
A.To get some branches. B.To buy a lot of gold and silver.
C.To do business with bank notes. D.To know the father of Chinese Banking.
4. What does Pingyao look like at night
A. Tiring. B. Modem. C. Exciting.D. Peaceful.

Passage3南极热出新高度
Antarctica has had its highest recorded temperature of 18.3°C, beating 2015 s record of 175c. The Antarctic Peninsula, where this week’ s reading was taken at the Argentine(阿根廷) research base Esperanza, is among the world’ s fastest warming regions（区域）, rising 3°C over the past 50 years. Some 87%of the glaciers（冰川） along its west coast are retreating（后退） rapidly. Professor James Renwick, a climate scientist at Victoria University, said,“The reading is sign of the warming that has been happening there much faster than the global average.”
Fellow expert Prof Nerilie Abram, who has carried out research at the peninsula’s northern tip, said,"It' s an area that’s warming very quickly, which is surely worrying many people.” The reading beats the previous March 2015 record on the earth 's southern continent by 0. 8°C ,according to the Argentine station Esperanza, which collected the data.
Some 87% of the glaciers along its west coast have shown an “accelerated retreat”in the past 12 years, it added. Prof Renwick said the WMO(世界气象组织) committee would be likely to approve the new record .“The reading is impressive as it's only five years since the previous record was set and this is almost one degree centigrade higher, ”he added.
Esperanza, located near the northern tip of the Peninsula easily to sense the change of the temperature, has been collecting data since 1961 for its special position .The reading breaks the 2015 record for the Antarctic continent, defined as the main continental land and adjoining islands by the WMO. The record for the Antarctic region, defined as all land and ice south of 60 degrees latitude is 19.8°C recorded on Signy Island in January 1982, the WMO said.
What made the west coast retreating rapidly
The reading signs. B. The research base.
C. The climate warming. D. The Antarctica record.
2. How did Prof Nerilie feel about the change of the temperature
A. He felt interested. B. He felt confused. C. He felt worried. D. He felt shocked.
3. What would the WMO committee do
A. They would collect enough glaciers.
B. They would admit(承认) the record officially.
C. They would find out why the temperature gets rising.
D. They would understand what happened
.4. Why did researchers choose Esperanza to collect data
It had the special position. B. It had a very long history.
C. It had been there since 1982. D. It had a large part of glaciers.

Passage4，噪声污染危及海洋生物
Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape（声景）of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic（人为的）ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae（幼体）, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home
Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers（螺旋桨 ）, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying（使偏离）species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.
Now, what if we told you there is already a solution Multiple remedies（处理方法）, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines（风力发电机） and “bubble curtains” that muffle（使（声音）降低） construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day.
Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against.
1. What do we know about “Soundscape of the Anthropocene Oceans”
A. It analyses how sound travels in the ocean.
B. It discusses different types of ocean pollution.
C. It explores the effects of noise pollution on sea life.
D. It studies how sea animals communicate with each other.
2. Why did the author mention clown fish in paragraph 2
A. To present their life cycles.
B. To show how terrible their living conditions are.
C. To introduce a famous animation about the ocean world.
D. To stress the importance of natural soundscapes to sea life.
3. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Causes. B. Reduces. C. Reveals. D. Prevents.
4. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4
A. The management of ship traffic.
B. The restriction of human activities.
C. The adoption of noise control techniques.
D. The application of relevant laws.

Passage5面塑艺术的文化传承
Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flat bread. In the hands of skilled artisans（手艺人）, flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine（面塑）. Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives（添加剂）to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor（继承人） of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons（偶像） such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological（神话的） figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating（产生共鸣） with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
1. What is special about Dough Figurine Lang
A. It reflects Beijing’s culture. B. It is created by many famous artists.
C. It shows people’s lifestyles and beliefs. D. It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
2. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines
A. To make dough figurines taste good. B. To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C. To help shape dough into various forms. D. To better preserve the finished products.
3. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions for other folk artisans. B. Different art styles of dough figurines.
C. Lang Jiaziyu’s achievements as an artisan. D. The popularity of modern dough figurines.
4. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.

Passage6.野生动物走廊
Wildlife corridors（走廊）are like safe highways for animals. These untouched areas let species move about freely to feed, breed, and migrate（迁徙）without disturbance from humans. The Vital Ground Foundation and Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) bought 80 acres in northwestern Montana. The area was purchased from a landowner committed to protecting open spaces over development. The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears（灰熊）.
“In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,” says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. “Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate market, we knew we needed to act quickly.”
“At the local area, this project conserves open spaces for wildlife movement,” Grossman says. She points out that grizzly bears are an umbrella species. This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitat for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. That is why this project focuses on the needs of bears.
It often becomes more difficult to preserve wildlife corridors like these. In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. “However, this change in the real estate market has led to some landowners reflecting on their values and vision for the community. In this way, it creates an opportunity for us to be able to work with people who want to see these areas remain high quality wildlife habitat, rural and undeveloped,” Grossman says.
1. Why did the authorities buy the land in northwestern Montana
A. To develop the local economy.
B. To better preserve wildlife habitats.
C. To construct highways in the suburbs.
D. To prevent endangered species from migrating.
2. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To explain a natural phenomenon.
B. To provide some advice for readers.
C. To add some background information.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
3. Why does this project concentrate on protecting grizzly bears
A. Their population has declined sharply.
B. They play a critical role in the ecosystem.
C. They affect the living habits of other wildlife.
D. Human activities have done serious harm to them.
4. What affects wildlife corridors according to paragraph 4
A. Land development.
B. Community structure.
C. Decreasing investors.
D. Geographic locations.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
"What's happened to me ” he thought. It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur scarf who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff(暖手筒) that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense,” he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.
He thought, “What a heavy career it is that I’ve chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them.” He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn’t know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble.
He slid back into his former position. “Getting up early all the time,” he thought, “it makes you stupid. You’ve got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I’d get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago, I’d have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel. He’d fall right off his desk! And it’s a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk, talking down at your inferiors from up there, especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing. Well, there’s still some hope; once I’ve got the money together to pay off my parents’ debt to him—another five or six years I suppose—that’s definitely what I’ll do. That’s when I’ll make the big change. First of all though, I’ve got to get up, my train leaves at five."
1.According to the passage, Gregor initially believes his transformation is a ______.
A.curse B.disease C.nightmare D.fraud
2.The author most likely includes a description of Gregor’s itch in paragraph 4 to ______.
A.remind the reader that Gregor has already turned into an insect
B.stress the disconnection between Gregors' thoughts and his actual situation
C.present important details about what Gregor's new body looks like
D.show that Gregor's thoughts are focused on the changes to his body
3.The passage most strongly suggests which of the following about Gregor's attitude toward his profession
A.He is angry. B.He is eager to please. C.He is depressed. D.He is diligent.
4.The main rhetorical(修辞的) effect of the final sentence of the excerpt ("First of all though, I've got to get up, my train leaves at five") is to ______.
A.provide a solution to the conflict Gregor faces
B.foretell the conflict between Gregor and his boss
C.illustrate Gregor's flexibility and ability to move on
D.emphasize Gregor's extreme sense of duty
