Cold weather not only threatens the life of human beings but also the survival of wild animals. In Houston, it has claimed some unusual animal victims-bats.
Mary Warwick is the wildlife director at the Houston Humane Society. She was doing shopping when the freezing winds reminded her that she had not heard how the area’s bats were going. So she drove to the bridge where over 100 bats looked to be dead as they lay frozen on the ground. But during her 40-minute drive home, they began to come back to life. The bats made sounds and moved around in a box she had placed on her heated passenger seat for warmth. She returned to the bridge twice a day to collect more.
Two days later, she got a call about more than 900 bats rescued from a bridge in nearby Pearland, Texas. On the third and fourth days, more people showed up to rescue bats from the Waugh Bridge, and a special transportation effort was set up to get the bats to Warwick, which touched her a great deal. Each of the bats was warmed in an incubator（恒温箱） until their body temperature rose.
However, there were too many bats for one person to care for. The society’s current buildings did not have the necessary space, so Warwick and others put the bats in her attic（阁楼）. The bats were separated by group in containers usually used for dogs. There, they were able to reach a state of hibernation（冬眠）. Over 100 bats died because of the cold and the fall from the bridge but the others are being or have been released.
The society is now raising money to build a special room for bats at the society. The society’s entire animal rescue team will be vaccinated（接种疫苗） and trained in rescuing bats as they prepare to move into a larger building with the special bat room. “That would really help in these situations where we continue to see strange weather come through,” she said. “We could really use more space to rescue the bats.”
24. Why did Mary War wick drive to the bridge
A. To get rid of the dead bats. B. To check what happened to the bats.
C. To reach home a little earlier. D. To monitor the surviving bats.
25. Which of the following moved Mary Warwick deeply

B. More people showed concern about her.
C. More people came up with good ideas.
D. More people joined her rescue.
26. What trouble did Mary Warwick have in saving the bats
A. There was not enough space to warm the bats.
B. An increasing number of bats died from the cold.
C. It was difficult for her to get bats into hibernation.
D. The bats’ body temperature didn’t rise as expected.
27. What is Mary Warwick’s attitude towards the human e society’s efforts
A. Critical. B. Grateful. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.

The Roman Colosseum is a giant amphitheater built two thousand years ago. Despite its age and an earthquake that knocked down its south side, most of the 150-some-foot building is still standing. Like many ancient Roman structures, parts of it were constructed using a specific type of concrete. Scientists and engineers have long suspected the key to these buildings’ strength is their use of this Roman concrete. But exactly how this strong concrete has contributed to the architecture’s durability（耐用） has been a mystery to researchers worldwide.
A team of interdisciplinary（跨学科的） researchers recently discovered a potential answer to why these ancient Roman buildings have been able to weather the test of time while many modern, concrete structures seem to collapse after a few decades. The answer: self-healing concrete. The material has three components: limestone. volcanic material and water. For years, architects and historians have guessed the volcanic material is what makes it strong — which it does. But it does not explain the material’s self-healing ability.
What the researchers found was that the self-healing properties might simply be a result of chemistry. The limestone in the concrete is likely the secret. When the ancient Romans made mortar（砂浆）, they heated up the lime to turn it into a substance called “ quicklime” — a very reactive chemical sibling to limestone. And, because they introduced water to the quickli me during mixing, the heat it produced set up a chemical foundation that could strengthen the concrete later. When tiny cracks start to form later, the quicklime stops them from becoming bigger. When it rains, the lime quickly fills the crack or reacts with the volcanic ash to“heal”the material.
For materials scientist Ainissa Ramirez, this new understanding of ancient Roman con crete is a welcome discovery. “This is one way that the material can be greener,” says Ramirez.“It’s sort of like a message in a bottle. The Romans made the material. We had to kind of figure out how they did it so that we can make better materials — and then in turn, attend to our environment better.”
28. Why is the Roman Colosseum mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To show many wonderful ancient Roman structures.
B. To provide a clue for studying ancient Roman structures.
C. To disclose to the world the mystery of ancient Roman structures.
D. To start the introduction of the durability of ancient Roman structures.
29. What does the underlined word “weather” in paragraph 2mean
A. Change. B. Prove. C. Stand. D. Suffer
30. What might account for the architecture’ s self-healing ability
A. A material called quicklime. B. A chemical foundation.
C. The volcanic material. D. The water in the crack.
31. What is implied in Ainissa Ramirez’s words
A. Roman concrete was made like a message in a bottle.
B. Roman concrete was aimed at protecting the environment.
C. Further study of Roman material will be carried out soon.
D. The way to make Roman material can be practical nowadays.
D
So far, use of underwater cameras has been limited.. Some must be stuck to power wires. Others rely on batteries, which don’t tend to last long. Such limits have kept scientists from exploring most of the ocean world. But now researchers have found a way around these problems — underwater cameras can get a new power source from sound.
The camera has two sensors on the bottom. Each is made of multiple layers of a piezoelectric material. When sound travels through the water, it creates waves of pressure, which cause the material to vibrate （振动）. And the material changes these vibrations into electrical energy and stores it in a capacitor. Once the capacitor has enough energy, it turns on the camera and takes a picture. Then, it lets the second sensor tap into more sound energy to send the picture. In this way, the sensors not only power the camera, but broadcast the data carrying its images.
Any sound can power it — from swimming fish to a passing ship. One of the sensors can focus on collecting energy for the camera while the other focuses on communication. How quickly the system takes to recharge depends on how loud and close the sound is. In a quiet setting, the camera will take about 10 to 12 seconds. With improved sensors, the camera will charge in less than a second by using sounds from more than 100 meters away.
To record an image, the camera flashes a series of red, blue and green lights. The system then combines what it sees into a single color photo. To communicate, the camera has an internal switch, which controls whether a sensor uses incoming sound for broadcasting. That switch is like a mirror being moved into and out of position. When that switch is in position, the system will use some sound to carry the photo’s digital data to a receiver. That receiver picks up the camera’s broadcast and assembles the data into an image. And then the undersea photo shoot is done.
32. Where is the electrical energy kept
A. In a sensor. B. In a capacitor. C. In a switch. D. In a receiver.
33. Which of the following determines the time to recharge the system
A. The quality and source of a sound.
B. The flexibility of the sensors.
C. The quiet setting of a sound.
D. The loudness and location of a sound.
34. What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph
A. How different colors are combined.
B. How sensors communicate through images.
C. How the undersea camera works.
D. How the new system uses sounds.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Collecting Power from Various Creatures
B. Developing a New Camera through Sounds
C. Powering a New Camera with Ocean Sounds
D. Providing New Functions for a New Camera

Dear Bob,
I’m more than delighted to learn that you’re planning to carry out a research study on biological diversity in our city next Saturday. I’m writing to recommend a popular scenic spot called Forest Reserve.
It takes us approximately forty minutes to get there by bus, which is well-known as a paradise for diverse wildlife ranging from common plants to endangered animals. Thus I’m sure you’ll have an extensive knowledge of biological diversity in the reserve. However, before starting your trip, you should plan your travel route specifically and get ready many items like an umbrella. Besides, why not ask a local student like me to go there with you as a guide
I’m looking forward to your early reply, and I wish you a fruitful trip.
Yours,
