A
I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route)，the Southern Silk Road, the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28th, 2021, we set out.Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat.We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road.Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their homes to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometowns.We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures.

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom civilization shared similarities with the Mayan civilization.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of the world in the Mayan civilization.“It is a very important similarity，” says Santos，a Mexican archaeologist, stressing that “The representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolic significance that is very similar”．
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the time span between the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations.They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols.“In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space.What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon，” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world，where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental，” says Santos.

6．The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ________.
A．silk was a common clothing material then
B．some technologies were developed much earlier
C．the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed
D．the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，三星堆遗址显示了青铜时代已经有了被认为是很久以后才发展起来的技术，即一些技术其实在很早以前就发展起来了。
7．What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins
A．Damp weather.
B．Positioning of ruins.
C．High latitude.
D．Language barriers.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They developed in areas with comparable climates”和倒数第二段内容可知，两处遗址是在气候相似的地区发展起来的，玛雅的气候是多雨的和潮湿的，由此可推知，它们面临的共同挑战是潮湿气候。
8．What is the focus of Santos' quote in the last paragraph
A．The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B．The benefits of speaking a different language.
C．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的) education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance of continuing their studies at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD.
Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career, such as clothing design, or business studies.
1．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．something about the private schools in developed countries
B．how developed countries pay attention to education
C．some general information about education in developed countries
D．why education is important

2．Why do most developed countries provide free education to children
A．Because the children don't have money to go to school.
B．Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.

D．Because there are not enough private schools.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In most developed countries ... educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life.”可知选B。

C．the children

Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD.
Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career, such as clothing design, or business studies.
1．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．something about the private schools in developed countries
B．how developed countries pay attention to education
C．some general information about education in developed countries
D．why education is important
2．Why do most developed countries provide free education to children
A．Because the children don't have money to go to school.
B．Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.
C．Because education doesn't cost the country too much money.
D．Because there are not enough private schools.
3．In the first paragraph the underlined word “citizens” refer to ________.
A．the cities
B．members of a country
C．the children
D．people who lives in cities
4．Which of the following statement is true according to the passage

Fires sweeping across the Amazon rainforest recently have been making the headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change crisis and endanger biodiversity (生态多样性)．
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest is often called “the lungs of the world”．It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million local people.The vast area of rainforest plays an important role in the world's ecosystem because it absorbs heat instead of reflecting heat back into the atmosphere.It also stores carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, reducing the effects of climate change.
“Any destruction of forest is a danger to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity，”Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic.“The great danger is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere，”he stressed.“In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon rainforest must be protected，” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research show that a total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in Brazil in the first 8 months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018.“We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased by 20 to 30 percent compared to the last 12 months，” Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest whose degradation(恶化)could have severe consequences for global climate.The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has gone beyond Brazil's borders.

Where do hurricane names come from Why do we give human names to violent, mindless masses of water and wind And how do we all agree which name to use
Before the 1940s, only the worst storms were given names. __5__ There was the Sea Islands Hurricane of 1893, the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 to name a few.
The practice of using more memorable names didn't begin until 1950. It was when Atlantic tropical hurricanes received official names, although they still weren't human ones. __6__So the 1950 season featured such strangely named storms as Hurricane Dog, Hurricane Easy and Hurricane Love.
__7__The same list of names was recycled every year, so the 1950－1952 seasons each featured a Hurricane Able through at least Hurricane Fox. That became confusing, so in 1953 the US National Hurricane Center began using female human names, which proved far more successful. Not only did it make storm identification easier, but it helped authorities and news outlets spread warnings. __8__
The first hurricane names were often inspired by forecasters' wives, but in 1979 men's names were added to the mix. The World Meteorological Organization now monitors the master list of names, which alternates between male and females six lists are rotated annually in the Atlantic.So the 2015 names will be used again. __9__ Seventy-eight Atlantic hurricane names have been retired since 1954, including 29 since 2000.
A．Besides, it helped the public pay attention to them.
B．These names were chosen from some familiar words.
C．This naming rule, however, had an obvious weakness.
D．These names of retired hurricanes are silly or unreasonable.
E．But when a hurricane is bad enough, its name can be retired.
F．They were usually based on the place or time of year they made landfall.
G．It is also easier to use names when we have more than one storm to track.
5．选F 根据空后一句可知，这些飓风都是根据时间或地点来命名的，承接下文，F选项“它们通常是根据它们一年中登陆的地点或时间来确定的。”符合语境。故选F项。
6．选B 根据空前两句和空后一句可知，飓风狗、飓风易和飓风爱(Dog，Easy和Love很熟悉常见)都是选用熟悉的词命名的，承接上下文，B选项“这些名字是从一些熟悉的词中选出来的。”符合语境。故选B项。
7．选C 根据下文可知，选用熟悉的词给飓风命名，会产生有“许多相同名字飓风”的弱点，这让人们很困惑，这不利于识别飓风和发出警报，所以才出现了用女性人名命名的方式(有利于识别飓风和发出警报)，承接下文，C选项“然而，这个命名规则有一个明显的弱点。”符合语境。故选C项。
8．选A 根据空前一句可知，上下两句讲飓风用女性人名命名的好处，上下两句之间是顺承递进关系，承接上文，A选项“此外，它也有助于公众对它们的关注。”符合语境。故选A项。
9．选E 根据空后一句可知，承接下文，E选项“但是当飓风够糟糕的时候，它的名字可以注销。”符合语境；E项中的retired对应下文的retired，同词复现。故选E项。

John Dominis was one of the staff photographers of LIFE.He joined LIFE in 1950 and shot one of the most classic pictures of the 20th century: Tommie Smith and John Carlos giving the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
Here, LIFE looks back at one of his lesser-known shoots — the African Antelope, which was a cover story that earned him Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1966 and later became a book.In the Editor's Note that accompanies the story, Dominis described how he was able to get the dramatic photo without a telephoto lens.
“I wanted to get low-angle shots that gave a dramatic sense of their speed.I built boxes and mounted cameras in them，” Dominis explained.“John Mbuthi and I worked for three weeks with them.We'd go a mile ahead of a herd and put down the boxes and hide them.Then we'd hide a quarter of a mile away and wait maybe for several hours.Meanwhile the light might change and there was no way I could change the exposures in the cameras.If the animal reached the boxes, I pushed the button that set off the cameras by a radio signal and ran off a whole roll of film.I must have exposed 40 rolls, but ended up with only one really good photo.”
The Briscoe Center recently acquired John Dominis' works.“These pictures and collections have something to say about how Americans perceive the outside world，” said Ben Wright of the Briscoe Center.“They are not only beautiful and interesting, but also historical evidences that help historians to understand the past with accuracy and integrity.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了摄影师John Dominis拍摄非洲羚羊照片的过程，以及人们对他作品的看法。
1．What contributed to Dominis' winning Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1966
A．His close cooperation with John Mbuthi.
B．His qualified skills in photography.
C．His photo of the African Antelope.
D．His famous shot about the 1968 Olympics.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Here, LIFE looks back ...later became a book.”可知，《生活》杂志回顾了Dominis不太为人所知的拍摄非洲羚羊的过程，这张照片为他赢得了年度杂志摄影师的称号。故非洲羚羊照片让Dominis成为1966年的年度杂志摄影师。
2．What does the underlined word “mounted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Fixed. B．Gave.
C．Adjusted. D．Focused.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上句和其所在句可知，Dominis想要拍摄低角度的照片，向人们展示羚羊速度的夸张，所以做了一些盒子。由此可推知，Dominis应是在盒子里面安装了摄像机。故画线词应意为“安装”。
3．What would Dominis do if the antelopes reached the boxes
A．Send a signal to the radio.
B．Operate the cameras remotely.
C．Press the button on the camera.
D．Hide a quarter of a mile away.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If the animal reached ...a whole roll of film.”可知， 如果羚羊到了盒子边，Dominis就按下按钮，通过无线电信号启动摄像机，然后拍下一整卷胶卷，即Dominis会远程操作摄像机。
4．Which can best describe Dominis at work
A．Strict and positive.
B．Flexible and modest.
C．Curious and independent.
D．Creative and determined.
解析：选D 推理判断题。 根据第三段中的“I wanted to ...in them”可知，Dominis为了拍摄低角度的照片制作了盒子并在里面装上摄像机，说明他具有创造性；结合“wait maybe for several hours”可知，他为了一张照片可能会等待好几个小时，说明他意志力坚定。由此可知，Dominis具有创造力并且意志力坚定。

Several years ago climate change was a controversial subject with many people insisting it didn't exist. Today, few people doubt that the climate is changing in uncomfortable and dangerous ways.
For me, living on an island off the west coast of Canada, climate change didn't directly affect me. That changed this summer. There are always a few wildfires in the forests of Canada in summer but this year has been exceptionally bad as we've had, for practical purposes, no rain at all. Then the fires started and many families have lost their homes to the flames. In early August we woke up one day to a heavy smoke from the mainland. It was dark for several days. By September, again the sun has been blocked by smoke, this time from Washington and Oregon in the United States. The smoke has covered us for about a week.
In the more than twenty years we've never before had this happen. Now we've been blanketed by smoke twice in one summer. The change in our climate is clear and it doesn't bode (预兆) well. Already our seaside town is putting regulations in place and making plans to deal with a rise in sea level. However, if the sea level comes up more than a few meters we could have big problems.
I don't pretend to understand all the causes of climate change or the best ways of fixing it if, indeed, it can be fixed. It is, however, becoming increasingly noticeable. Last night we were supposed to be able to see the Northern Lights but the smoke prevented that. But there's some good news. I have just noticed that for the first time in months it is raining.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者通过讲述自身经历，阐述了气候变化越来越严重，已经影响到了人们的生活和家园。
5．When did the author begin to be affected by climate change？
A.After the smoky days. B．In August this summer.
C．On arriving at the island. D．When the first fire broke out.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In early August ... a week.”可知，今年夏天的八月，作者开始被气候变化所影响。故选B。
6．What did the seaside town do with climate change
A．It found the causes. B．It solved the problems.
C．It made a prediction. D．It took some measures.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Already our seaside town ...sea level.”可知，这个海滨小镇应对气候变化采取了许多措施。故选D。
7．What's the good news the author mentioned in the last paragraph
A．The coming of the rain.
B．Seeing the Northern Lights.
C．The best way to fix the weather.
D．The appearance of heavy smoke.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But there's some good news ... is raining.”可知，好消息是数月来第一次作者注意到要下雨了。故选A。
8．What is the best title for the passage
A．Causes of Climate Change
B．Climate Change Hits Home
C．Global Warming Is Less Serious
D．Ways to Deal with the Rising Sea Level
解析：选B 标题归纳题。根据第一段可知，今天，几乎没有人怀疑气候正在以麻烦的和危险的方式改变，第二段作者讲述自己居住的小镇也受到气候变化的影响，第三段讲述了小镇应对气候变化采取了一些措施，最后一段作者阐述了气候变化越来越令人瞩目。因此推断文章主要讲述了气候变化已经影响到家园，故B项为本文最佳标题。故选B。

Wildlife workers in Florida are feeding manatees to keep them from starving. __9__ So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce.
Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when mature. __10__ In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea.That's one reason why they're sometimes called “sea cows”．They spend most of their time in warm, shallow water looking for food.
But Florida's manatees have been on the US government's list of endangered animals since 1967.Most threats to manatees come from humans.One of the biggest problems faced by the creatures is boats.Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed.
__11__ At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida.But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees.
But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they can't get enough to eat.Many of the beds of seagrass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution.Seagrass began to disappear around 2011.Warming seas, combined with polluted water and fertilizers that have been washed off farmlands, have created huge growth of algae on the ocean's surface. __12__
Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving. __13__ Many of the manatees that remain are so thin that their ribs can be seen.Often they have trouble swimming.
So last December, wildlife experts came up with a plan to get emergency food for the manatees.They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage.In the long term, Florida is working to help restore seagrass beds.But that will take time.
A．That was a record.
B．They can weigh up to 590 kilograms.
C．The feeding station has been very successful.
D．With protection, manatees managed to bounce back.
E．They block the sunlight that allows the seagrass to grow.
F．But feeding these massive sea creatures takes a lot of food.
G．Research needs to be done to determine what food would be best.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了佛罗里达州野生动物保护者通过给海牛喂食来避免它们遭受饥饿，从而促进海牛种群数量的增加。9.选F 空前一句讲到了“佛罗里达州的野生动物保护者正喂养海牛以防止它们挨饿”，而空后则讲到了“到目前为止，救援人员已经发放了25吨莴苣”，故F项“但是，喂养这些大型海洋生物特别费食物。”承上启下，符合语境。
10．选B 空前一句讲到了“海牛是大型海洋哺乳动物，成年海牛身长达4米”，而空后一句讲到了“尽管它们体型庞大，却只吃海洋植物”，因此，空处应该还会讲到海牛的体型，故B项“它们(海牛)重达590千克。”符合语境。
11．选D 根据第一段可知，佛罗里达州的野生动物保护者正喂养海牛，结合空后的“At one point, there were only ... 8,800 manatees.”可知，通过野生动物保护者的努力，海牛的数量有所反弹，故D项符合语境。
12．选E 本段讲到了海牛面临的新挑战，结合空前一句中的“海洋表面的海藻大量生长”可知，空处应该会讲到海藻泛滥带来的危害，故E项“它们(海藻)挡住了使海草能够生长的阳光。”符合语境。
13．选A 空前一句讲到了“去年1 101头海牛死于饥饿”，A项“那创造了新的纪录。”符合语境，且能够连接空后一句“剩下的很多海牛瘦骨嶙峋”。Module 4 课下主题训练 人与环境、人与动植物

John Dominis was one of the staff photographers of LIFE.He joined LIFE in 1950 and shot one of the most classic pictures of the 20th century: Tommie Smith and John Carlos giving the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
Here, LIFE looks back at one of his lesser-known shoots — the African Antelope, which was a cover story that earned him Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1966 and later became a book.In the Editor's Note that accompanies the story, Dominis described how he was able to get the dramatic photo without a telephoto lens.
“I wanted to get low-angle shots that gave a dramatic sense of their speed.I built boxes and mounted cameras in them，” Dominis explained.“John Mbuthi and I worked for three weeks with them.We'd go a mile ahead of a herd and put down the boxes and hide them.Then we'd hide a quarter of a mile away and wait maybe for several hours.Meanwhile the light might change and there was no way I could change the exposures in the cameras.If the animal reached the boxes, I pushed the button that set off the cameras by a radio signal and ran off a whole roll of film.I must have exposed 40 rolls, but ended up with only one really good photo.”
The Briscoe Center recently acquired John Dominis' works.“These pictures and collections have something to say about how Americans perceive the outside world，” said Ben Wright of the Briscoe Center.“They are not only beautiful and interesting, but also historical evidences that help historians to understand the past with accuracy and integrity.”

C．His photo of the African Antelope.
D．His famous shot about the 1968 Olympics.
2．What does the underlined word “mounted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean

B．Operate the cameras remotely.
C．Press the button on the camera.
D．Hide a quarter of a mile away.
4．Which can best describe Dominis at work

Several years ago climate change was a controversial subject with many people insisting it didn't exist. Today, few people doubt that the climate is changing in uncomfortable and dangerous ways.
For me, living on an island off the west coast of Canada, climate change didn't directly affect me. That changed this summer. There are always a few wildfires in the forests of Canada in summer but this year has been exceptionally bad as we've had, for practical purposes, no rain at all. Then the fires started and many families have lost their homes to the flames. In early August we woke up one day to a heavy smoke from the mainland. It was dark for several days. By September, again the sun has been blocked by smoke, this time from Washington and Oregon in the United States. The smoke has covered us for about a week.
In the more than twenty years we've never before had this happen. Now we've been blanketed by smoke twice in one summer. The change in our climate is clear and it doesn't bode (预兆) well. Already our seaside town is putting regulations in place and making plans to deal with a rise in sea level. However, if the sea level comes up more than a few meters we could have big problems.
I don't pretend to understand all the causes of climate change or the best ways of fixing it if, indeed, it can be fixed. It is, however, becoming increasingly noticeable. Last night we were supposed to be able to see the Northern Lights but the smoke prevented that. But there's some good news. I have just noticed that for the first time in months it is raining.
5．When did the author begin to be affected by climate change？
A.After the smoky days. B．In August this summer.
C．On arriving at the island. D．When the first fire broke out.
6．What did the seaside town do with climate change
A．It found the causes. B．It solved the problems.
C．It made a prediction. D．It took some measures.
7．What's the good news the author mentioned in the last paragraph
A．The coming of the rain.
B．Seeing the Northern Lights.
C．The best way to fix the weather.
D．The appearance of heavy smoke.
8．What is the best title for the passage
A．Causes of Climate Change
B．Climate Change Hits Home
C．Global Warming Is Less Serious
D．Ways to Deal with the Rising Sea Level

Wildlife workers in Florida are feeding manatees to keep them from starving. __9__ So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce.
Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when mature. __10__ In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea.That's one reason why they're sometimes called “sea cows”．They spend most of their time in warm, shallow water looking for food.
But Florida's manatees have been on the US government's list of endangered animals since 1967.Most threats to manatees come from humans.One of the biggest problems faced by the creatures is boats.Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed.
__11__ At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida.But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees.
But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they can't get enough to eat.Many of the beds of seagrass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution.Seagrass began to disappear around 2011.Warming seas, combined with polluted water and fertilizers that have been washed off farmlands, have created huge growth of algae on the ocean's surface. __12__
Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving. __13__ Many of the manatees that remain are so thin that their ribs can be seen.Often they have trouble swimming.
So last December, wildlife experts came up with a plan to get emergency food for the manatees.They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage.In the long term, Florida is working to help restore seagrass beds.But that will take time.
A．That was a record.
B．They can weigh up to 590 kilograms.
C．The feeding station has been very successful.
D．With protection, manatees managed to bounce back.
E．They block the sunlight that allows the seagrass to grow.
F．But feeding these massive sea creatures takes a lot of food.
G．Research needs to be done to determine what food would be best.Module 5 课下主题训练 对社会有突出贡献的人物

Alcohol
Shocked It was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind.

Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.
Tea
China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The Mechanical Clock

The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 AD and 907 AD.
Silk Fabric
Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
At the time of year when the sun's daily appearance is often short-lived, the following warm places in Washington State are your first choice.
Alderbrook Resort & Spa
Less than a two-hour drive from Seattle, located on the edge of the Hood Canal, a nature-filled retreat (幽静之地) is waving.Seals slide along the waters of the Alderbrook dock (码头), playing a game of “Go Fish” with dive-bombing seagulls.As you sit on the shaking dock just minutes after arrival, you are already in a quieter world.
Suncadia Resort
A mountain escape waits just over the pass on 1-90, about 80 miles east of Seattle.The resort's annual Winterfest lasts through January 2nd, full of holiday celebrations and winter recreations, from cross-county skiing and snow mobile tours to ice skating and snowshoe tours.
Willows Lodge
Twenty miles from Seattle, this luxury inn is nestled into the centre of Woodinville Wine Country.Situated on five landscaped acres that border the Sammamish River, the Northwest-style lodge is within walking distance of more than 35 tasting rooms.When you step into the lodge, a fire crackles and hot apple rolls welcome your arrival with a celebratory air.
Seattle-area Retreats
Salish Lodge & Spa is a scenic 30-minute drive from Seattle, bringing you to a lodge integrating Old World atmosphere and modern elegance.Get out to enjoy the surrounding nature, whether hiking near the rushing 270-foot-tall Snoqualmie Falls or trying activities like fly fishing and snowshoeing.Head to North Bend for a slice of Twede's Café strawberry pie.
1．Where can you enjoy leisure from sea life

B．At Suncadia Resort.
C．At Alderbrook Resort & Spa.
D．At Willows Lodge.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据Alderbrook Resort & Spa部分中的“Seals slide along ... with dive-bombing seagulls.”可知，在Alderbrook Resort & Spa，游客可以坐在码头上，观看海洋生物，享受休闲时光。
2．What can you enjoy at Suncadia Resort
A．Performances of animals.
B．A month-long festival.
C．An exhibition of snowshoes.
D．Amusements with snow.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据Suncadia Resort部分中的“winter recreations ...and snowshoe tours”可知，在Suncadia Resort可以参加各种和雪有关的娱乐项目。
3．What do Willows Lodge and Seattle-area Retreats have in common
A．They feature wine tasting.
B．They focus on outdoor activities.
C．They serve food made from fruits.
D．They combine ancient and modern trends.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据Willows Lodge部分中的“hot apple rolls welcome your arrival”和 Seattle-area Retreats这一部分中的“for a slice of Twede's Café strawberry pie”可知，提供水果制成的食物是它们的共同之处。

As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky.The appeal of fireworks could fizzle_out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, the creative coordinator at SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially.“We do think it's going to be something that's ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in.Drones are reusable and there's no fallout.In that sense they're a very good, sustainable option，” she said.
But not everyone agrees.A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems.“Suggestions are that drones have a smaller impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that‘green’，” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were shortcomings.“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public.It's therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents，” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't exclude each other.
The sight, sound and smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed with drones.But we don't really see it as a replacement at all.We feel as if it's just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you're putting on，” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点、可能给环境带来的影响以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度。
4．What does the underlined phrase“fizzle out”in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Catch on. B．Wind up.
C．Create an impact. D．Make a comeback.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。结合常识和第一段中的“fireworks”和“the growing use of drones”可知，烟花表演与无人机灯光表演都属于点亮夜空的表演秀，因此，当无人机越来越多地被用于灯光表演，烟花表演就减少或被替代，由此推知，fizzle out与wind up意思相近，意为“结束”，故B项符合题意。
5．What does Howitt think about a drone display in Paragraph 2
A．It's definitely an upward trend.
B．It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C．It's nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D．It'll excite the public curiosity about science.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话：我们确实认为它将会成为一种流行趋势，而不是人们突然间对其产生兴趣的一种短暂的时尚。无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。从这个意义上说，它们是一种非常好的、可持续的选择。由此可推知，Howitt认为无人机表演呈上升的趋势。
6．Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A．Promoting the production of drones.
B．Diversifying the functions of drones.
C．Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D．Staging drone shows as an alternative.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话可知，他们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果非常好，但他们并没有真正把它视为一个替代品。他们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空更有生气，让你想对正在表演的节目做些什么。由此可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种选择。

What happens when you want to go from one place to another, but there's water in the way That's the problem people faced for hundreds of years in the area that is now New York City. In the city, there is a natural canal (运河) called the Narrows, separating Brooklyn on one side from Staten Island on the other.
But the Narrows isn't really so narrow. The water is almost a mile wide, and it's more than 100 feet deep. __8__ When they wanted to talk to each other, they climbed into their boats and sailed across.
By the late 1800s, circumstances had changed dramatically. Population growth meant there were now many people needing to travel between Staten Island and Brooklyn for work. __9__
Between 1888 and 1920 there were two major efforts to build a train tunnel to connect the areas. __10__ Proposals to build a connecting bridge made during the 1910s also ended in failure due to opposition from the US Navy.
Finally, after World War Ⅱ， there were so many people living in New York City that leaders decided Brooklyn and Staten Island needed a direct connection. Since tunnels were too expensive, they decided to build a bridge. The design selected had two separate roadways stacked (叠放) on top of each other. __11__ Construction, which took five years, was completed in 1964 and cost D|S320 million. Today about 190,000 cars and trucks cross the bridge every day.
__12__ But in the case of the Narrows, figuring out a good solution took hundreds of years.
A．Sometimes getting from one place to another is very easy.
B．Both were quickly abandoned however due to the high costs involved.
C．Neither road was large enough to satisfy the existing transport demands.
D．It was anticipated that the new train system would help the areas grow even faster.
E．Taking a boat every time was very slow, expensive and, in bad weather, unreliable.
F．Both would hang in the air from thick steel cables, supported by two giant steel towers.
G．For a long time that wasn't a problem, because only a few people lived in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
8．选G 根据空前一句和空后一句可推知，G项“很长时间以来那不是一个问题，因为只有少数人住在Brooklyn和Staten Island。”符合语境，所以选G项。
9．选E 空前一句是说人口增长意味着有许多人为了工作奔波于两地之间，根据第四段可知，人们想要建造一个火车隧道来连接两地；由此可推知，空处应是说乘船往返于两地的缺点，所以选E项。
10．选B 根据空前一句中的“two major efforts”和空后一句可知，空处应该是讲两次努力都没有成功，故选B项。
11．选F 根据空前一句可知，F项中的“Both”与之呼应，且F项的句意与语境相符，故选F项。
12．选A 根据空后一句可知，设空处的句子应与空后一句形成逻辑上的转折关系，所以A项“有时从一个地方到另一个地方是很容易的”符合语境。

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course，WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful，which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exists some potential risks if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy，that may cause economic losses. Besides，oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, never should we post our personal information，or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books and taking exercise.

As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky.The appeal of fireworks could fizzle_out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, the creative coordinator at SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially.“We do think it's going to be something that's ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in.Drones are reusable and there's no fallout.In that sense they're a very good, sustainable option，” she said.
But not everyone agrees.A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems.“Suggestions are that drones have a smaller impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that‘green’，” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were shortcomings.“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public.It's therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents，” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't exclude each other.
The sight, sound and smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed with drones.But we don't really see it as a replacement at all.We feel as if it's just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you're putting on，” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
4．What does the underlined phrase“fizzle out”in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Catch on. B．Wind up.
C．Create an impact. D．Make a comeback.
5．What does Howitt think about a drone display in Paragraph 2

B．It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis.

A．Promoting the production of drones.
B．Diversifying the functions of drones.
C．Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D．Staging drone shows as an alternative.
7．In which section of a website can we read this text
A．Advertisement. B．Education.
C．Health. D．Environment.
