Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people Most people know what blue is when they see it. They call it “blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else’s red
The ability to notice different colours is up to receptors (感受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving.
Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. The inability of the receptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours. Those with more developed receptors can see more colours. We sometimes hear people having an argument about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to feel the light waves than another.
In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red. Their brains automatically (自动地) got used to new colours. This suggests that our brains may find new colours of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone.
So, the next time you talk about your favourite colour, just remember that if yours is blue and your friend says red, you two might actually be thinking about the same colour. What if everyone in the world has the same favourite colour, but just calls it different names
11.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.How we see colours.
B.How the brain deals with signals.
C.The relation between the brain and signals.
D.The connection between receptors and light waves.
12.Which of the following might the author agree
A.People with poor receptors usually have colour weakness.
B.People cannot feel colours with their developed receptors.
C.The more lights people feel, the weaker receptors they have.
D.People often cannot tell the difference between dark blue and black.
13.What’s the purpose of conducting the research on monkeys
A.To develop the receptors of humans.
B.To enable monkeys to find more colours.
C.To test the monkeys for colour recognition.
D.To prove not everyone sees colours in the same way.

Some 3,000 tern (燕鸥) eggs were abandoned at a Southern California island after a drone (无人机) crashed and scared off the birds, a newspaper reported in June 2021.
In May 2021, two drones were flown over the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach, California. One of them went down in the wetlands. Fearing an attack from an enemy, several thousand terns abandoned their ground-based nests. Usually during June, the birds would be watching their eggs. But now, the sand is filled with eggshells.
Melissa Loebl is the manager of the protected area, which is about 160 km north of San Diego, California. With the pandemic(流行病) driving more and more people to outdoor spaces, in 2020, about 100,000 visitors came to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. That was up from about 60,000 in 2019, she told the newspaper.
That has led to an increase in human activities, including flying drones and riding bicycles. All these activities are not permitted. There has been a great increase in dogs, particularly those permitted to run free. This is especially bad during the season when the birds lay eggs.
Another problem is the development of multimillion-dollar homes near the protected area. The owners feel they should be able to use the land as they like. The government are taking more action to stop people who break the rules.
The protected area is the largest saltwater wetland between Monterey Bay just south of San Francisco and the Tijuana River Estuary. Some 800 kinds of plants and animals live at or travel to Bolsa Chica. There are many concerns about its future.
15.Why did the birds abandon their eggs
A.They had planned to build new nests.
B.Their ground-based homes were unsafe.
C.They thought their enemy was coming.
D.They hated the loud noise of the drone.
16.Which of the following was due to the pandemic according to the text
A.People needed more pets.
B.People loved nature more.
C.People used drones more.
D.People might prefer to stay outdoors.
17.What do we know about the people living near the protected area
A.They try to protect birds.
B.They care little about nature.
C.They build houses everywhere.
D.They are against the development.
18.What can be the best title for the text
A.Broken Eggs Need to Be Saved
B.Drone Flying Should Be Stopped
C.Human Activities Hurt Wildlife Greatly
D.About 3,000 Eggs Were Abandoned after Drone Scared off Birds

Underground farming, as the name may suggest, is the practice of growing food underground. Until recently, underground farming becomes a trend because of its potential (潜力) and the benefits that it brings. 19 Food can then be grown in stable, suitable and sustainable ways there. The following are some of its benefits.
20
It has been estimated(估算) that even if a city was to build rooftop greenhouses on every possible building and fill the parking spots with growing containers, it would only be able to reach around 5% of the crop requirements of the city. 21 Rooftop greenhouses also require buildings that have very large flat roofs and are strong enough structurally, yet most buildings simply don’t meet the requirements. That’s where underground farms stand out. They require less surface space and can be applied to almost any new building.
It lowers heating costs of the building above.
Even the most efficient LED lights produce waste heat, which means that they heat up the farm, and for most modern indoor farms that’s a major problem because not only is energy lost through lighting, but it’s also required to cool down the farms. 22 Besides, people are working on ways to recycle the waste heat in order to help heat the building above and reduce its energy.
It enables farming in unfriendly environments.
Obviously at a certain depth, the weather and environmental conditions of the surface have no effect on the growing environment. 23
A.It replaces rooftop greenhouses.
B.It increases the urban farming space.
C.Underground farms have a big advantage here.
D.It aims at creating a good underground environment.
E.Growing crops in cities is highly limited due to less empty space.
F.However, underground farms can reduce that waste of energy to some extent.
G.So it’s possible to build productive farms in deserts and even mountainous areas.

11.主旨大意题。根据第二段“The ability to notice different colours is up to receptors(感受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving. (看到不同颜色的能力取决于我们眼睛中的感受器。光波击中这些受体,它们根据光的颜色做出反应,向大脑发送信号。然后大脑读取这些信号,以确定眼睛接收到的是哪种颜色的光)”可知,本段主要讲我们是怎样看到不同颜色的。故选A项。
12.推理判断题。根据第三段中“The inability of the receptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours. Those with more developed receptors can see more colours.(受体无法正确感受光波,这意味着有些人无法分辨相似颜色之间的差异。受体更发达的人可以看到更多的颜色)”可推知,作者认为,受体较差的人通常有色弱。故选A项。
13.推理判断题。根据第四段中“In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. (在过去,大多数科学家认为每个人看到颜色的方式都是一样的。然而,在猴子身上进行的研究中,它们的受体发生了变化)”和“This suggests that our brains may find new colours of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone. (这表明我们的大脑可能会发现我们所看到的事物的新颜色。颜色可能是一种非常个人的体验,对每个人来说都是独一无二的)”可推知,对猴子进行研究的目的是证明并非每个人看颜色的方式都是一样的。故选D项。
14.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else’s red (但是你怎么知道你看到的蓝色不是别人看到的红色呢?)”可知,本文主要介绍了人眼分辨颜色背后的科学。由此推知,本文可能出现在科学杂志上。故选C项。

20.根据下文“That’s where underground farms stand out. They require less surface space and can be applied to almost any new building.(这就是地下农场的突出之处。它们需要更少的表面空间,几乎可以应用于任何新建筑。)”可知,地下农场需要较少的表面空间,几乎可以应用于任何新建筑。由此可知,本段主要讲的是地下农场养殖可以增加城市的耕种空间。B项“It increases the urban farming space.(它增加了城市农业空间。)”符合语境,故选B项。
21.根据上文“It has been estimated(估算) that even if a city was to build rooftop greenhouses on every possible building and fill the parking spots with growing containers, it would only be able to reach around 5% of the crop requirements of the city.(据估计,即使一个城市在所有可能的建筑物上建造屋顶温室,并在停车位上装满种植容器,也只能达到该市作物需求的5%左右。)”可知,城市农业生产的空间不足。E项“Growing crops in cities is highly limited due to less empty space.(由于城市空地较少,在城市里种植农作物受到很大限制。)”进一步说明城市耕种空间少,作物种植受到限制,承接上文,符合文意。故选E项。
22.根据下文“Besides, people are working on ways to recycle the waste heat in order to help heat the building above and reduce its energy.(此外,人们正在研究回收废热的方法,以帮助加热上面的建筑物,减少其能源。)”可知,人们还只能在研究方法回收地下农场产生的废热,减少能源浪费。F项“However, underground farms can reduce that waste of energy to some extent.(然而,地下农场可以在一定程度上减少能源浪费。)”符合语境,故选F项。

I’m writing to share my opinions on the throw-away culture and its great impact on our daily life. The throw-away culture refers to the habit of using disposable products, which are often made of plastic or paper. Though these products are popular, many critics have already pointed out that such a culture may contribute to the worsening of our environment.
In my daily life, from using plastic straws to ordering food deliveries and asking them to prepare chopsticks for me, I inevitably use disposable products. In my opinion, these products are greatly designed for those who live a fast-paced life. In fact, these products save my time to a great extent.
However, it cannot be denied that these products do harm to our Earth. But is banning its use altogether a good solution Take our neighbour, Japan, as an instance. If you ever look closely into the Japanese society, you could find that plastic bags and disposable chopsticks are unlimited whether in supermarkets or in restaurants. The Japanese government has been implementing a recycling policy for decades where all recyclables must be sorted in many detailed categories.
The negative impact of those products cannot be completely erased and may still be around for years. But technology is developing fast and I have the faith in our generation to work together and find a solution in the near future.
