“Time flies. Youth fades; treasure each moment of your life,” accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen. And he is the reason they were all there. Hancock was a 27-year-old Australian who taught English in Chongqing. When he died in 2018 due to complications from diabetes, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs with the help of the Red Cross Society of China’s Chongqing branch.
“I’m Philip’s liver”; “I’m Philip’s kidney”; “I’m Philip’s eyes.” The five people — a real estate salesperson, a famer, a former truck driver and two doctors introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip’s organs.
Last year, Chen Xianjun, former truck driver, knew from Red Cross officials that Philip loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day. Chen and the other four recipients instantly decided to form a band in memory of Philip.
Since they had no music experience, they had to start from scratch. From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to rehearse over the past year, even during the pandemic.
“Picking up a new instrument is certainly difficult at my age, but we managed to achieve it,” said Mo Li, the 36-year- old real estate salesman. “I think Philip not only gave me a renewed life, but also some ‘musical cells’ that enable me to appreciate beautiful melodies.”
Organ donation is not only the best way to memorialize a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. But according to Xinhua, China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year. But the good news is that more and more people are joining Philip.
4. Band for One was formed to .
A. remember Philip
B. celebrate their renewed life
C. raise money for Philip’s parents
D. raise public awareness of organ donation
5. Which of the following best describes the members of the band
A. Successful. B. Skillful. C. Grateful. D. Helpful.
6. What can we infer from the passage
A. The pandemic once stopped their rehearsal.
B. Mo Li was 36 years old when he joined the band.
C. The recipients are from different walks of life.
D. About 300,000 people have organ transplant surgeries each year.
7. What’s the writing purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on more organ donations.
B. To let more people know what Philip did.
C. To make the severe shortage of organs known to the public.
D. To inform the public the importance of organ transplant surgeries.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述五名不同职业的普通人,在没有任何音乐基础的情况下,互相配合完成了“一个人的乐队”表演的故事。而之所以称为是“一个人的乐队”,是因为这五名表演者都是同一位外国友人的器官受捐者,他们身上有不同的器官来自于这位叫菲利普的澳大利亚小伙子。他们组建这支乐队的目的是为了表达对Philip的思念和感激之情。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Last year, Chen Xianjun, former truck driver, knew from Red Cross officials that Philip loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day. Chen and the other four recipients instantly decided to form a band in memory of Philip.(去年,前卡车司机Chen Xianjun从红十字会官员那里得知,菲利普热爱音乐,梦想有一天能拥有自己的乐队。陈和其他四位获奖者立即决定成立一个乐队来纪念菲利普)”可推知,Band for One这支乐队组建的目的就是“为了纪念 Philip”。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Last year, Chen Xianjun, former truck driver, knew from Red Cross officials that Philip loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day. Chen and the other four recipients instantly decided to form a band in memory of Philip.(去年,前卡车司机Chen Xianjun从红十字会官员那里得知,菲利普热爱音乐,梦想有一天能拥有自己的乐队。陈和其他四位获奖者立即决定成立一个乐队来纪念菲利普)”和第五段的“Since they had no music experience, they had to start from scratch. From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to rehearse over the past year, even during the pandemic.(由于没有音乐经验,他们不得不从头开始。从学习吉他到掌握沙球和打鼓,他们在过去的一年里从繁忙的生活中抽出时间进行排练,即使在大流行期间也是如此)”可知,他们想组建乐队来纪念菲利普,而且付出了很大的努力。由此推知,他们是感恩的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The five people — a real estate salesperson, a famer, a former truck driver and two doctors introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip’s organs.(这五个人——一个房地产销售人员,一个农民,一个前卡车司机和两个医生——在台上自我介绍。他们接受了菲利普的器官)”可推知,这五位受捐者来自各行各业。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Organ donation is not only the best way to memorialize a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. But according to Xinhua, China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year.(器官捐赠不仅是纪念亲人的最好方式,也是拯救他人生命的一种非凡方式。但据新华社报道,中国面临着严重的器官短缺,每年约有30万人等待器官移植手术)”可推知,本文描述五位受捐者组建乐队来纪念器官捐赠者是为了呼吁更多的人参与到器官捐赠的行列中来。故选A。
C
Celebrated on June16th, World Sea Turtle Day is a day dedicated to one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating creatures. Unfortunately, this is also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’s endangered status.
Sea turtles have been around since the time of dinosaurs. They typically live to between 30 and 50 years of age, spending most of their lives at sea. Part of the reptile(爬行动物) family, sea turtles can hold their breath for up to five hours. This comes in handy since some species can dive as deep as 1,000 meters below the water’s surface before needing to come up for air. Sea turtles also like to get around, often migrating very long distances. One species can migrate over 12,000 km from nesting beaches in Japan all the way to feeding grounds near Mexico.
Female sea turtles return to the beach they hatched on to nest. Some species lay up to 250 eggs in a single nest, and each egg takes around 60 days to incubate(孵化). However, it’s estimated that only one in a thousand baby turtles can survive to adulthood.
Although it is worth having a day to celebrate these magnificent animals, World Sea Turtle Day also has a more serious purpose: to raise awareness of their difficult situation. Sea turtles are threatened with extinction. Plastic trash is a big problem because the turtles often mistake bags and other plastic items for food like jellyfish. In fact, half of all sea turtles have consumed plastic at some time in their lives.
Rising global temperature is another threat facing turtles. Turtle eggs that lie on warm sand are more likely to result in female turtles, which affects the animal’s diversity. Also, trash-covered beaches can make it hard for baby turtles to reach the sea.
However you want to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day, take some time to spread the word about what we can do to protect these ancient animals. Reducing the amount of plastic we use is just one small way we can help make sure sea turtles stick around for another 100 million years.
8. Which of the following best explains “comes in handy” underlined in Paragraph 2
A. is useful B. is interesting C. is close D. is difficult
9. What can we infer from the whole passage
A. Turtles are a species which hates going around.
B. Turtles’ rate of survival is low though they are productive.
C. Turtles came into being long after the extinction of dinosaurs.
D. Turtles, belonging to reptile family, spend most of their lives on land.
10. According to the passage, which of the following is not the problem sea turtles are facing
A. Turtle eggs lying on warm sand tend to result in female turtles.
B. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags and other plastic items for food.
C. Sea turtles are captured by fishermen for food or for other purposes.
D. Baby turtles will have difficulty in reaching the sea when they are on trash-covered beaches.
11. What’ s the main idea of the passage
A. The factors of causing sea turtles to die out.
B. Raising the awareness of protecting sea turtles.
C. A brief introduction of sea turtles’ living habits.
D. How sea turtles lay eggs.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海龟的特性和危险处境,并呼吁大众保护海龟和环境。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段,This指的是上一句中“sea turtles can hold their breath for up to five hours(海龟可以屏住呼吸长达五个小时)”,所以这个特性对于需要潜水深至 1000 米的动物来说是有用的,所以A项能最好地解释划线短语的含义。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Some species lay up to 250 eggs in a single nest , and each egg takes around 60 days to incubate (孵化). However, it’s estimated that only one in a thousand baby turtles can survive to adulthood.(一些物种在一个巢穴中产下多达250个蛋,每个蛋需要大约60天的时间来孵化。然而,据估计,只有千分之一的小海龟能活到成年。)”可知,海龟虽然很多产,但存活率低,推断正确,故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。分析题目可知,题目问根据文章,哪一个不是海龟正在面临的问题。A 项(海龟蛋躺在温暖的沙滩上往往会生出雌性海龟。)可根据第五段“Turtle eggs that lie on warm sand are more likely to result in female turtles, which affects the animals’ diversity.(躺在温暖的沙滩上的海龟蛋更有可能变成雌性海龟,这影响了动物的多样性。)”判断是海龟要面临的问题。B项(海龟经常把塑料袋和其他塑料制品误认为食物。)可根据第四段“the turtles often mistake bags and other plastic items for food like jellyfish.(海龟经常把袋子和其他塑料物品误认为水母等食物。)”判断也是海龟要面临的问题。D项(当小乌龟在垃圾遍地的海滩上时,它们很难到达大海。)可根据第五段“trash-covered beaches can make it hard for baby turtles to reach the sea.(垃圾覆盖的海滩会让小海龟很难到达大海。)”判断还是海龟要面临的问题。只有C项是没有被提及到的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Unfortunately,this is also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’ s endangered status.(不幸的是,这也是一个提醒大家海龟濒临灭绝的日子。)”可知,本文主要是通过海龟日告诉大众海龟所处的危险处境,即有哪些因素造成海龟濒临灭绝,故选A项。
D
In the world of digital health, Silicon Valley-based Mindstrong stands out. It has a remarkable team and tens of millions of funding. It also has a fascinating idea-its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on person’s smartphone usage-how quickly they type, for instance.
The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day. If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider.
The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the company’s app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise There’s no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,” said Rosalind Picard, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, who is familiar with Mindstrongs work.
“It has passed the gold-standard clinical tests for depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Paul Dagum, the company’s founder. “We’re confident, and we’re already seeing some really exciting results.” Mindstrong officials said that among their most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week, kind of like a weather app for your mood. “For a clinician(临床医生) or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,” Dagum said.
12. What can Mindstrong’s app do
A Improve its users’ mental health. B. Get its users to type more quickly.
C. Discover its users’ mental state. D. Work out the causes of its users’ trouble.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The ways of collecting data. B. The app’s working principle.
C. The analysis of typing habits. D. The development of the app.
14. What is Rosalind Picard’s attitude towards the app
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Defensive.
15. What can we infer about Dagum’s opinion on the app
A. The app has a powerful effect on anxiety.
B. The app can also predict weather conditions.
C. Care providers could be supporters of the app.
D. Doctors benefit more from the app than their patients.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一款可以发现人们心理状态的 app 以及不同的人对它的不同态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state.(该公司的应用程序收集人们如何打字的信息,并通过机器学习算法运行这些信息,以确定哪些数据可以预测他们的情绪状态)”可知,该app通过收集用户的打字收集信息预测他们的心理状态,故选C 。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容,特别是根据“The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day.(这个想法是利用这些数据建立一个“正常”模式,这样就可以与某人在任何一天的打字习惯进行比较)”可知,该app 利用收集到的这些数据建立一个正常的模式,这样就可以将其与某一天的打字习惯进行比较,从而知道用户的心理状态。由此可知,本段主要介绍的是该 app 的工作原理,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,”(除了公司之外,几乎没有人知道它是否有效,这让一些专家怀疑这项技术是否适合现实世界。“我不会在非实验条件下浪费所有的时间和金钱,直到他们确信其中一些事情像他们希望的那样具体”)”可知,公司外部几乎没有人知道该 app 是否有效,这让一些专家怀疑这项技术是否已经准备好应用于现实世界,紧接着就举了 Rosalind Picard 的例子。再结合他所说的话推知,Rosalind Picard 对这个 app 持怀疑态度,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For a clinician or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,(说对于一个临床医生或照顾病人的人来说,他们知道这可能是非常非常有帮助的)”推知,医护人员可能是该 app 的支持者,故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If your friends are different, then that’s fine.(不要拿自己和朋友相比。每个人学习的东西都不一样,有些人发现事情比其他人容易。选择最适合你的复习方法。如果你朋友的方法是不同的,那也行)”可知,每个人的复习计划不一定要相同,要选最适合自己的复习方法,别人的方法不一定适合于你。因此G项“What works well for one person might not work well for another.

43. ruins 44. another

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了广东省省会广州市最近出土了一批历史文物,并介绍了这批文物的意义。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些文物是在越秀区中山六路(路)附近的一个建筑工地出土的。名词construction site是可数名词,在文章中第一次出现,泛指,所以用不定冠词a。故填 a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:总面积2400平方米,古时曾是广州的商业中心。本句中 used to be 是谓语,此处 cover 要做非谓语。逻辑主语the site与cover之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填 Covering。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:此外,到目前为止,附近还发现了许多重要的考古发现。此句没有谓语,需要填谓语动词。根据时间状语 up to now,用现在完成时。主语many important archaeological discoveries为复数,与find之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填 have been found。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:为了为进一步开发做准备,广州市文化遗产考古研究所于今年5月至12月在那里开展了一项挖掘项目,发现了数量惊人的历史遗迹和文物。本句中 started 是谓语动词,prepare 在此处应作目的状语,所以用不定式。故填 To prepare。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:为了为进一步开发做准备,广州市文化遗产考古研究所于今年5月至12月在那里开展了一项挖掘项目,发现了数量惊人的历史遗迹和文物。historical/historic remains 历史遗迹。故填historical/historic。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:据该研究所官员程浩介绍,出土的物品主要包括陶器、瓷器、青铜器和铁器,时间从汉代(公元前202年-公元220年)到20世纪初。空处修饰动词 include,应使用 main 的副词形式。故填 mainly。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据该研究所官员程浩介绍,出土的物品主要包括陶器、瓷器、青铜器和铁器,时间从汉代(公元前202年-公元220年)到20世纪初。分析句子可知,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是 pottery, porcelain, bronze and iron wares,关系词替代先行词在非限定性定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填 which。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:程浩说,另一个发掘的亮点是一座大型宋朝(960-1279)建筑的废墟,它属于上层阶级。the + 名词 + of。宋朝建筑的遗迹应用复数。故填 ruins。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:程浩说,另一个发掘的亮点是一座大型宋朝(960-1279)建筑的废墟,它属于上层阶级。除了以上文物,宋朝遗迹也是另外一个闪光点,所以用代词another。故填 another。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:“挖掘结果对于了解广州城区的历史和地理变化具有重要意义,” 程浩补充说。be of + 抽象名词=形容词,be of significance = be significant。故填 of。
第三节 单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
46. The population of Tibetan antelope dropped dramatically partly because of the i______ hunting for their valuable fur.(根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】illegal##llegal
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:藏羚羊的数量急剧下降,部分原因是为获取藏羚羊珍贵的皮毛而进行的非法捕猎。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,根据句意和所给首字母,应是illegal意为“非法的”。故填illegal。
47. The school sees its job as preparing students to make a c______ to society. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】contribution##ontribution
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:学校认为自己的工作是培养学生为社会做贡献。由to society可知,句子表示“学校认为自己的工作是培养学生为社会做贡献”,空格处意为“贡献”,由首字母提示c可知,是contribution,空格前有a,空格处用单数,make a contribution to意为“对……做贡献”,故填contribution。
48. When he was running after his brother, the boy lost his b______ and had a bad fall. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】balance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:当他追赶他哥哥时,这个男孩失去了平衡,重重地摔了一跤。根据单词首字母以及句意“平衡”,可知应填名词balance,balance意为“平衡”时为不可数名词,lose one’s balance意为“失去平衡”。故填balance。
49. As the dark clouds_________ (消失), the moon gradually came into view. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)

【答案】immediately
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:当面对一个困难的问题时,大多数人不能立即给出答案。表示“立即”应用副词immediately作状语。故填immediately。
第四节 翻译句子(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
51. 新旧更替的时代已经带来。(汉译英)
【答案】There comes a time when the old must give way to the new.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和固定短语。主语为a time,后文when引导定语从句,表示“新旧更替”翻译 the old must give way to the new;主句谓语为come,there位于句首需用完全倒装。为一般现在时。故翻译为There comes a time when the old must give way to the new.
52. 我们地球上一些物种正在以惊人的速度灭亡。(die out) (汉译英)
【答案】Some species on our earth are dying out at an alarming rate.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语,时态和主谓一致。“我们地球上”是on our earth,“一些物种”是some species,“正在以惊人的速度灭亡”用现在进行时,“以惊人的速度”是at an alarming rate,“灭亡”是die out,主语species是复数,其后be动词用are。故翻译为Some species on our earth are dying out at an alarming rate.
53. 只有当我们学会和大自然和谐共处,我们才不会成为野生生物和地球的威胁。(倒装)(汉译英)
【答案】Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature will we not become a threat to wildlife and the earth.
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句式、动词、名词和短语。结合语境可知,主句使用一般将来时,从句使用一般现在时,从句中表示“只有当”用only+when引导的状语从句来引起部分倒装;表示“学会……”可用短语learn to do结构;表示“和谐共处”短语为in harmony with;主句中表示“成为”用动词become表示,且和助动词will一起作谓语,但助动词will要提到主语we前面构成部分·倒装;表示“……的威胁”短语为a threat to;表示“野生生物和地球”用名词wildlife and the earth,作介词to的宾语。故翻译为 Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature will we not become a threat to wildlife and the earth。
54. 在发展经济和保护文物之间保持平衡是值得的。(worthwhile) (汉译英)
【答案】It is worthwhile to keep a balance between economic development and the protection of cultural relics.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型,时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,“做某事是值得的”是固定句型It is worthwhile to do...,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式,“在……和……之间保持平衡”是固定短语keep a balance between...and...,“发展经济”是economic development,“保护文物”是the protection of cultural relics,因此整句话翻译为“It is worthwhile to keep a balance between economic development and the protection of cultural relics”。故答案为It is worthwhile to keep a balance between economic development and the protection of cultural relics.
55. 这些照片使我想起了我的童年。(remind) (汉译英)
【答案】These photos remind me of my childhood.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语,时态和主谓一致。“这些照片”是these photos,“使某人想起……”是remind sb. of sth.,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语photos是复数, 因此remind用原形,“我的童年”是my childhood,因此整句话翻译为“These photos remind me of my childhood”。故答案为These photos remind me of my childhood.

“Time flies. Youth fades; treasure each moment of your life,” accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen. And he is the reason they were all there. Hancock was a 27-year-old Australian who taught English in Chongqing. When he died in 2018 due to complications from diabetes, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs with the help of the Red Cross Society of China’s Chongqing branch.
“I’m Philip’s liver”; “I’m Philip’s kidney”; “I’m Philip’s eyes.” The five people — a real estate salesperson, a famer, a former truck driver and two doctors introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip’s organs.
Last year, Chen Xianjun, former truck driver, knew from Red Cross officials that Philip loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day. Chen and the other four recipients instantly decided to form a band in memory of Philip.
Since they had no music experience, they had to start from scratch. From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to rehearse over the past year, even during the pandemic.
“Picking up a new instrument is certainly difficult at my age, but we managed to achieve it,” said Mo Li, the 36-year- old real estate salesman. “I think Philip not only gave me a renewed life, but also some ‘musical cells’ that enable me to appreciate beautiful melodies.”
Organ donation is not only the best way to memorialize a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. But according to Xinhua, China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year. But the good news is that more and more people are joining Philip.
4. Band for One was formed to .
A. remember Philip
B. celebrate their renewed life
C raise money for Philip’s parents
D. raise public awareness of organ donation
5. Which of the following best describes the members of the band
A. Successful. B. Skillful. C. Grateful. D. Helpful.
6. What can we infer from the passage
A. The pandemic once stopped their rehearsal.
B. Mo Li was 36 years old when he joined the band.
C. The recipients are from different walks of life.
D. About 300,000 people have organ transplant surgeries each year.
7. What’s the writing purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on more organ donations.
B. To let more people know what Philip did.
C. To make the severe shortage of organs known to the public.
D. To inform the public the importance of organ transplant surgeries.
C
Celebrated on June16th, World Sea Turtle Day is a day dedicated to one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating creatures. Unfortunately, this is also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’s endangered status.
Sea turtles have been around since the time of dinosaurs. They typically live to between 30 and 50 years of age, spending most of their lives at sea. Part of the reptile(爬行动物) family, sea turtles can hold their breath for up to five hours. This comes in handy since some species can dive as deep as 1,000 meters below the water’s surface before needing to come up for air. Sea turtles also like to get around, often migrating very long distances. One species can migrate over 12,000 km from nesting beaches in Japan all the way to feeding grounds near Mexico.
Female sea turtles return to the beach they hatched on to nest. Some species lay up to 250 eggs in a single nest, and each egg takes around 60 days to incubate(孵化). However, it’s estimated that only one in a thousand baby turtles can survive to adulthood.
Although it is worth having a day to celebrate these magnificent animals, World Sea Turtle Day also has a more serious purpose: to raise awareness of their difficult situation. Sea turtles are threatened with extinction. Plastic trash is a big problem because the turtles often mistake bags and other plastic items for food like jellyfish. In fact, half of all sea turtles have consumed plastic at some time in their lives.
Rising global temperature is another threat facing turtles. Turtle eggs that lie on warm sand are more likely to result in female turtles, which affects the animal’s diversity. Also, trash-covered beaches can make it hard for baby turtles to reach the sea.
However you want to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day, take some time to spread the word about what we can do to protect these ancient animals. Reducing the amount of plastic we use is just one small way we can help make sure sea turtles stick around for another 100 million years.
8. Which of the following best explains “comes in handy” underlined in Paragraph 2
A. is useful B. is interesting C. is close D. is difficult
9. What can we infer from the whole passage
A. Turtles are a species which hates going around.
B. Turtles’ rate of survival is low though they are productive.
C. Turtles came into being long after the extinction of dinosaurs.
D. Turtles, belonging to reptile family, spend most of their lives on land.
10. According to the passage, which of the following is not the problem sea turtles are facing

In the world of digital health, Silicon Valley-based Mindstrong stands out. It has a remarkable team and tens of millions of funding. It also has a fascinating idea-its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on person’s smartphone usage-how quickly they type, for instance.
The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day. If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider.
The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the company’s app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise There’s no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,” said Rosalind Picard, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, who is familiar with Mindstrongs work.
“It has passed the gold-standard clinical tests for depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Paul Dagum, the company’s founder. “We’re confident, and we’re already seeing some really exciting results.” Mindstrong officials said that among their most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week, kind of like a weather app for your mood. “For a clinician(临床医生) or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,” Dagum said.
12. What can Mindstrong’s app do
A Improve its users’ mental health. B. Get its users to type more quickly.
C. Discover its users’ mental state. D. Work out the causes of its users’ trouble.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The ways of collecting data. B. The app’s working principle.
C. The analysis of typing habits. D. The development of the app.
14. What is Rosalind Picard’s attitude towards the app
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Defensive.
15. What can we infer about Dagum’s opinion on the app
A. The app has a powerful effect on anxiety.
B. The app can also predict weather conditions.
C. Care providers could be supporters of the app.
D. Doctors benefit more from the app than their patients.
