Josette Duran was 1 when her son Dylan, 14, asked her to pack him an extra snack in his school lunch. When she asked him why, his 2 was truly touching.
"I asked, ‘Why Are you not getting full What's going on ’ And he says, ‘No. I want to 3 one for my friend,’" Duran recalled.

（一）、阅读理解
Now you can make polar bears your pen friends. First you need to find one, then tranquilize (使镇静) it and quickly give it a necessary tool before it wakes up. It's an awkward first encounter — how many friendships do you know start with tranquilizers — and admittedly a one-sided correspondence, but soon they'll be sending messages daily.
Every morning, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute, receives a bunch of emails from several female polar bears, letting him know where they are. Each year, Aars and his colleagues equip around 70 polar bears with a tracking collar (项圈) which continuously logs their movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. "Data about their movement is very important in understanding how they might respond to climate change," Aars explains.
A warm climate means a vast amount of sea ice is melting. Several seal species — polar bears' main food — rely on sea ice, and more often than not, where sea ice can be found, so can polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move. "We have seen that bears move much further north," Aars explains.
The collar can also record body temperature, which can tell scientists if a bear has moved inside a habitat — an indication that the animal is going to give birth. Sea ice loss is also having an impact on where polar bears are born. "Important areas where they used to go to give birth to cubs(幼兽) are more or less lost," says Aars. "Bears are now swimming as far as 200 kilometers to reach an island habitat," he adds, "something they did not need to do 20 years ago."
Aars hopes his research can reveal how to help his pen friends hold out a little longer. "What is important for us is that all this data tells us how they will respond in the future," he adds.

A. Provide some key facts about polar bears.

D. Collecting data on polar bears' movement.
3.How does climate change affect polar bears
A. They are forced to move south.
B. They have trouble finding food.
C. Their habitats are too hot to live in.
D. Their cubs fail to adapt to the climate.
4.What can be the best title for the text

What is volunteer travel
Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity and help others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects. 1.
Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries. 2. Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.
3. Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. 4. For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished(贫困的) area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate. As international travel became easier and the Internet made communication between countries much easier, the interest in volunteer travel increased.
5. Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers' home base, a volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. This sort of volunteer travel is sometimes referred to as voluntourism.
A. The primary purpose of the trip was very specific.
B. This type of travel has been an option for many years.
C. Educational institutions also made volunteer travel an option.
D. Sometimes, donating money is not enough to satisfy the need to help.
E. The Internet has helped make community service in general more popular.
F. These trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofits.
G. A new trend is that for-profit tour operators arrange group travel around volunteer opportunities.

A new study finds too much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant produces. Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows, far from any real street. The setup mimicked(模拟) urban light pollution. In these now-light-polluted fields, flowers had 62 percent fewer night visitors — insect pollinators (传粉者)— than the flowers in dark meadows did.
Cabbage thistles are the most common flowers in these meadows. Fewer insect visitors at night could mean less pollen (花粉) pollinated from plant to plant (the first step in producing seeds). "For the thistles, daytime pollinator visits didn't make up for this loss at night," says Eva Knop, an ecologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Overall, night-lit plants produced one-eighth fewer seeds than plants that got full nights of darkness did.
"Light pollution might affect a whole network of plants and their pollinators," Knop and her colleagues now suggest. Indeed, night pollination is not just a lonely business for a few special plants. There are lots of links between production of pollen by night and that by day. Plants with a lot of night visits are often very busy by day, too. Light at night that decreases seed numbers could over time mean fewer new plants. And fewer plants could mean less food and shelter for daytime insects. Therefore, a lot of pollinators working day and night shifts could be affected, which is what Knop worries about.
The new study is the first to show how artificial light affects plants' ability to produce seeds. The test is also unusual because it considers all kinds of insect pollinators instead of focusing only on night-flying insects. The researchers paid special attention to the cabbage thistle, but they also mapped which kinds of insects visited other plants by day or night.
1.Why were street lights put up in the meadows

2.What can be inferred about cabbage thistles
A. They attract only night visitors.
B. They grow slowly during the night.
C. They are the most common Swiss flowers.
D. They rely on insects to help produce seeds.
3.Light pollution affects pollinators' .
A. sight
B. numbers
C. growth
D. food and shelter
4.What is the main idea of the text
A. Plants attract more insects due to light pollution.
B. Night-flying insects matter more than daytime ones.
C. Light pollution may affect plants' seed numbers.
D. Researchers found ways to protect the environment.
参考答案
一、基础巩固
（一）、选词填空
1.Except for 2.take; for granted
3.help; out 4.prior to
5.serve as 6.go without
7.sing a different tune
（二）、单句语法填空
1.improving 考查suggest的用法。句意:他建议改善我们学校的生活条件,这让我们感到兴奋。当suggest表示"建议,提议"时,后接动词-ing 形式作宾语。
2.to 考查介词。句意:研究发现,那些对牛奶过敏的人可能会对奶酪有不良反应。be allergic to...表示"对……过敏"。
3.criteria 考查名词复数。根据空前的"More specific and less subjective"可知,空处应用名词形式。criterion为可数名词,且其前没有限定词,故应用其复数形式。criterion的复数形式为criteria。
4.to 考查介词。句意:两个简单的字"谢谢"对人们有重大影响。make a difference to sb.意为"对某人有影响"。
5.to provide 考查不定式。句意:直到她找到一份工作,她才会有足够的钱养活孩子。have sth. to do...意为"有……去做……",故填to provide。
6.passing 考查动词-ing形式的复合结构。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,此处考查动词-ing形式的复合结构。"Yuan Longping's (pass) away"在从句中作主语,故空处应填动词-ing形式,Yuan Longping为其逻辑主语。
7.supportive 考查形容词。句意:得到父母支持的孩子在学校表现得往往比那些父母不理解、不支持的孩子好。空处修饰名词parents,故用形容词。supportive"支持的,给予帮助的"。
8.to 考查介词。句意:您的信息已转告给相关工作人员,他们非常高兴听到您对他们工作提出有用的建议。relay是及物动词,表示"传递,传达"。relay...to...意为"把……传递给……",此处为其被动形式。
9.stability 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知,此处应用所给词的名词形式作介词of的宾语,故填stability。

解题导语：这是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现,夜间过多的光照会减少植物生产的种子数量。
1.A 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows, far from any real street.The setup mimicked(模拟) urban light pollution"可知,路灯竖立在草地上是为了模拟城市的光污染。故选A。
2.D 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Fewer insect visitors at night could mean less pollen(花粉) pollinated from plant to plant (the first step in producing seeds)...for this loss at night"可知,昆虫更少可能意味着植物之间的授粉减少(授粉是结籽的第一步),对于这种蓟来说,白天授粉者的造访并不能弥补晚上的损失,由此推断,这种植物依靠昆虫来帮助结籽。故选D。
3.D 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"Light at night that decreases seed numbers could over time mean fewer new plants. And fewer plants could mean less food and shelter for daytime insects. Therefore, a lot of pollinators working day and night shifts could be affected"可知,夜间的光照减少了种子的数量,随着时间的推移,这意味着新植物的减少,而更少的植物则意味着白天活动的昆虫的食物和栖身之地减少,因此影响了很多白天和晚上轮班的传粉者,由此可知光污染影响传粉者的食物和栖身之地。故选D。
4.C 考查主旨大意。阅读全文尤其是第一段中的"A new study finds too much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant produces"可知,文章介绍了一项新研究。该研究发现夜间过多的光照会减少植物生产的种子数量。C选项"光污染可以影响植物的种子数量"最符合文章主旨。
