An international group of electronic music composers is taking beats from the dance club to jungles and forests and back, all to help save nature’s greatest singers. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean is a new album that includes the sounds of endangered birds. The album will come out next month, whose proceeds will go directly towards efforts to save birds.
The whole project was born out of this idea of trying to combine birdsong, electronic music and conservation. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean was organized by activist, music producer, Robin Perkins. He invited artists from each of the endangered birds ‘homelands to build their own songs around the birds’ songs. There are contributions from ten artists in eight different countries.
First single Black Catbird was created by The Garifuna Collective, from Belize. Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band. “There are no trails, and there are no signs there to tell you about what you’re seeing,” Obando says. “So we’re trying to do something for the birds and nature tourism.”
Another musician who responded to Robin’s call is Tamara Montenegro, an artist from Nicaragua. She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco after being approached: “This beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”. In response, she created a song inspired by this bird and the challenges it faces to live naturally.
The new album is the second edition, following on from A Guide to the Birdsong of South America, produced by Robin in 2015. That first album has raised, to date, over $15,000 benefitting conservation projects in South America. As with the first album, all of the money from the sales of the new album will support specific organizations, including Birds Caribbean.
24. What does the underlined word “proceeds” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Profits. B. Budgets. C. Challenges. D. Effects.
25. What do we know about Al Obando
A. He created a hit single himself.
B. He was fond of observing birds.
C. He was the organizer of the new album.
D. He did a lot for birds in South America.
26. Why was Tamara astonished to learn of the Guardabarranco
A. It was friendly to humans.
B. It was living in bad conditions.
C. It was beautiful in appearance.
D. It was facing challenges from other birds.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To collect money for a project.
B. To popularize electronic music.
C. To recommend some famous artists.
D. To introduce a new album of electronic music.

The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.
Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.
The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.
Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.
Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new damns on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”
28. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. What a water battery is. B. How the project will work.
C. Why reservoirs are needed. D. What the clean energy future is.
29. What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors
A. They can power Tesla’s cars.
B. They can store renewable sources.
C. The battery materials are easy to get.
D. The technology applied is a new breakthrough.
30. What is the biggest challenge for water batteries
A. Damage caused to nature. B. The shortage of solar power.
C. Limited ability to store energy. D. Proper places for construction.
31. What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project
A. Unconcerned. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
D
The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is making rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.
Located on the Mediterranean, just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes, however, rising salinity (盐度) is hurting rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to play one enemy off against the other.
The battle is currently being waged on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice” are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes.
“The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona, “the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency.”
Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums (水族馆) but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. “The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.”
Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any, of the varieties are ready for commercialization.
As an EU-funded effort, the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome (基因组).
32. Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage
A. It has great impact on the lives of Spanish rice farmers.
B. It is of great significance in the records of Spanish history.
C. Rice farmers there are engaged in another kind of battle of similar importance.
D. Rice farmers there are experiencing the hardships of wartime.
33. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies
A. Striking the weaker enemy first. B. Killing two birds with one stone.
C. Eliminating the enemy one by one. D. Using one evil to fight against the other.
34. What does Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail
A. It can survive only on southern European wetlands.
B. It will invade other rice-growing regions of Europe.
C. It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination.
D. It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose.
35. What is the ultimate goal of the EU-funded program
A. Cultivating ideal salt-resistant rice varieties.
B. Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice.
C. Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe.
D. Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology.

C. otherwise D. instead

【点睛】信息隐含句式中的虚拟语气的表现手法（即含蓄条件句中的虚拟语气）有①with, without和but for介词短语代替了条件状语从句时所隐含的虚拟语气；② otherwise, or, or else, but等副词、连词或独立主格结构，代替了条件状语从句时所隐含的虚拟语气 。
本句中含有虚拟语气从句，像这种含蓄虚拟条件句的关键词还有：without、or。
如：1、Without your help, I couldn't have finished the work on time.
2、I was busy that day . Otherwise , I would have come to see you.
句中的Otherwise 是个暗示条件的单个词，相当于条件句子if I had not been busy that day ,这是一个与过去事实相反的条件句，所以后面用would have come。又如：
I am glad I studied. Otherwise , I would have failed . (otherwise =" if" I had not studied) .
另外，除了副词otherwise 外，常见的还有连词or 等。如：
They liked the apartment or they wouldn't have stayed so long.(or =" if" they hadn't liked the apartment).现在考试越来越趋于各种语法知识的混合考查，考生要仔细审题。
9. When the group discussion is nearing its end, make sure to ______it with important points.
A. conclude B. lead
C. avoid D. hold
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：当小组讨论接近尾声的时候，一定要用要点来结束讨论。A. conclude结束；B. lead领导，导致；C. avoid避免；D. hold控制。根据“When the group discussion is nearing its end”可知，此处指“用要点来结束讨论”。故选A。

A. worth B. supply
C. package D. list
【答案】B
【解析】

An international group of electronic music composers is taking beats from the dance club to jungles and forests and back, all to help save nature’s greatest singers. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean is a new album that includes the sounds of endangered birds. The album will come out next month, whose proceeds will go directly towards efforts to save birds.
The whole project was born out of this idea of trying to combine birdsong, electronic music and conservation. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean was organized by activist, music producer, Robin Perkins. He invited artists from each of the endangered birds ‘homelands to build their own songs around the birds’ songs. There are contributions from ten artists in eight different countries.
First single Black Catbird was created by The Garifuna Collective, from Belize. Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band. “There are no trails, and there are no signs there to tell you about what you’re seeing,” Obando says. “So we’re trying to do something for the birds and nature tourism.”
Another musician who responded to Robin’s call is Tamara Montenegro, an artist from Nicaragua. She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco after being approached: “This beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”. In response, she created a song inspired by this bird and the challenges it faces to live naturally.
The new album is the second edition, following on from A Guide to the Birdsong of South America, produced by Robin in 2015. That first album has raised, to date, over $15,000 benefitting conservation projects in South America. As with the first album, all of the money from the sales of the new album will support specific organizations, including Birds Caribbean.
24. What does the underlined word “proceeds” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Profits. B. Budgets. C. Challenges. D. Effects.
25. What do we know about Al Obando
A. He created a hit single himself.
B. He was fond of observing birds.
C. He was the organizer of the new album.
D. He did a lot for birds in South America.
26. Why was Tamara astonished to learn of the Guardabarranco
A. It was friendly to humans.
B. It was living in bad conditions.
C. It was beautiful in appearance.
D. It was facing challenges from other birds.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To collect money for a project.
B. To popularize electronic music.
C. To recommend some famous artists.
D. To introduce a new album of electronic music.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. D

The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.
Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.
The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.
Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.
Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new damns on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”
28. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. What a water battery is. B. How the project will work.
C. Why reservoirs are needed. D. What the clean energy future is.
29. What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors
A. They can power Tesla’s cars.
B. They can store renewable sources.
C. The battery materials are easy to get.
D. The technology applied is a new breakthrough.
30. What is the biggest challenge for water batteries
A. Damage caused to nature. B. The shortage of solar power.
C. Limited ability to store energy. D. Proper places for construction.
31. What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project
A. Unconcerned. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】

The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is making rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.
Located on the Mediterranean, just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes, however, rising salinity (盐度) is hurting rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to play one enemy off against the other.
The battle is currently being waged on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice” are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes.
“The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona, “the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency.”
Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums (水族馆) but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. “The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.”
Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any, of the varieties are ready for commercialization.
As an EU-funded effort, the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome (基因组).
32. Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage
A. It has great impact on the lives of Spanish rice farmers.
B. It is of great significance in the records of Spanish history.
C. Rice farmers there are engaged in another kind of battle of similar importance.
D. Rice farmers there are experiencing the hardships of wartime.
33. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies
A. Striking the weaker enemy first. B. Killing two birds with one stone.
C. Eliminating the enemy one by one. D. Using one evil to fight against the other.
34. What does Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail
A. It can survive only on southern European wetlands.
B. It will invade other rice-growing regions of Europe.
C. It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination.
D. It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose.
35. What is the ultimate goal of the EU-funded program
A Cultivating ideal salt-resistant rice varieties.
B. Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice.
C. Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe.
D. Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology.
