Kay Day, an 87-year-old UK woman, adores elephants. But Day, suffering from dementia (痴呆),rarely left her nursing home room and hadn’t seen a real elephant for a really long time.
Day is so crazy about elephants that her room is decorated with elephant photos. Day dreamed of seeing an elephant up close again and never thought it would happen. However, Day’s dream became a reality after her nursing home, the Blakelands Lodge care home inMarston Moretaine, took her on a special journey to the Whipsnade Zoo.
“Kay doesn’t join in many activities and tends to spend quite a lot of time alone,” said Carla Blakelands, the Lodge activity manager. “We sat and discussed wishes and found out she would love to see an elephant. We discussed different options and we found the Elephant Experience at Whipsnade Zoo, so we contacted them about our resident.”
Day was so excited about going to the zoo that she marked off the days on her elephant-themed calendar. Day’s carers and family came along on the trip to assist and watch her experience the exciting day. Day was able to pet the Asian elephants and she said that the elephants’ trunk is her favorite part of the animal. “It’s such a wonderful feeling to have an elephant take some food out of your hand, put it in his trunk, curl it up and put it in his mouth,” she told BBC.
Day expressed her gratitude to the people who organized the trip and said it was one of the best days of her life. “I could sit here forever with an elephant sitting by my side,” she said.
Elephant keeper My Eriksson said that the zoo was honored to have played a role in making Day’s dream come true and that it was amazing to meet someone who is as crazy about elephants as the zookeepers at Whipsnade Zoo.
4. What can we say about the Blakelands Lodge care home
A. It funds the Whipsnade Zoo. B. It has a special love for elephants.
C. It seldom organizes outings. D. It cares about its residents’ wishes.
5. What can be learned from Blakelands’ words about Day
A. She has no relatives. B. She is fairly easy-going.
C. She enjoys being alone. D. She likes group activities.
6. What did Day do in the zoo
A. She fed the elephants. B. She argued with her family.
C. She arranged an interview. D. She worked as a zookeeper.
7. How did Day feel towards the people organizing the trip
A. Annoyed. B. Grateful. C. Puzzled. D. Nervous.

Scientists in the US have come up with an unusual idea for how to solve global warming—cool the Earth by injecting (注入) ice particles into the upper atmosphere to make it drier. Water vapor—water in its gas form—is a natural greenhouse gas that traps heat, just like carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and gas.
Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believe that if they add ice up high in the air, it could dry out the upper atmosphere and reduce its ability to trap human-caused warmth. “By now, it’s just an early idea that scientists could add to their ‘last-ditch toolbox’ against climate change,” said NOAA physicist Dr Joshua Schwarz, lead author of the study published in the scientific journal Science Advances. “This is about exploring what might be possible in the future and identifying research directions,” he said, explaining scientists didn’t find the suitable technology yet.
The approach is one of a few proposed by scientists that aim to reduce the impact of climate by changing the world’s atmosphere or oceans—a practice known as geoengineering.
The way that it could possibly work is that hi-tech planes could inject ice particles about 17 km high, which is just below the stratosphere (平流层), where the air slowly rises. The researchers believe that the ice and cold air would rise to where it’s coldest, making the water vapor turn to ice and fall, drying out the stratosphere in the process.
Injecting two tonnes of ice per week could reduce global heating by about five percent of the overall warming caused by fossil fuels and shouldn’t be used instead of cutting pollution. Researchers were unsure how they would inject the ice and whether or not the practice could cause side effects.
8. Why do scientists want to add ice to the upper atmosphere
A. To dry out the air. B. To increase the greenhouse gas.
C. To explore the space. D. To give off human-caused warmth.
9. What can we know about the ice injection idea
A. It upsets research directions. B. It earns public praise.
C. It hasn’t been put into practice. D. It has proved effective.
10. What could possibly make the water vapor turn into ice
A. The warm air. B. The high-tech planes.
C. The fossil fuels. D. The lowered temperature.
11. From which section of a newspaper is the text probably taken
A. People. B. Environment. C. Education. D. Health.
D
The elongate stilt spiders like to hang out in Brian Gall’s boat. While throwing them out of his boat one day, the biologist noticed these spiders quickly darted to the nearest shoreline after landing on the water’s surface. However far Gall’s boat was from land, they seemed to know which way to go.
The elongate stilt spiders make webs on the edges of ponds and streams to catch prey (猎物).So it’s not unusual for them to fall into the water. How they knew which way to go has been unclear. They appear to use light reflected off the water’s surface. It may help them find the shoreline, which is less reflective.
There are some 51000 known species of spiders. Scientists have studied a few species’ navigation skills — relying on sound, vibrations and chemical signals. Some species use their eight eyes to see the reflected light.
Usually, light waves move in all directions. But they can get together after bouncing off a reflective surface, such as a pond.
To find out the elongate stilt spiders’ homing senses, Gall’s team built test arenas (场所).One was in an outdoor tank, and the other was in a pond in Gall’s backyard.
In some spots, a film (薄膜) they held just above the water reflected incoming sunlight before it hit the surface. That created areas without glare. These spots were meant to copy what land might look like to these spiders. Then, the researchers dropped 68 of these spiders into the water and recorded the movements of each.
The spiders put in the tank raced to covered areas. In the pond, the spiders, dropped between the shore and the covered areas, headed for each option with equal frequency, circling the area until they found land. In both arenas, the spiders choosing covered areas would often circle in and out of the film’s shadow, seemingly searching for the expected shoreline.
“Some previous experiments were done in ponds without the film,” Gall says. “In these, elongate stilt spiders always moved toward land.” The team now concludes the species likely views the reflected light as “not land”.
12. What does the underlined word “darted” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adapted. B. Rushed. C. Led. D. Stuck.
13. Test arenas were built to _________.
A. check the elongate stilt spiders’ ability to catch prey
B. measure the elongate stilt species’ various movement
C. compare the elongate stilt spiders’ different homing senses
D. understand the elongate stilt spiders’ special navigation skills
14. What is paragraph 7 mainly about
A. The findings of the tests. B. The methods for the tests.
C. The reasons for using a film. D. The effects of a shadow.
15. What is the key for the elongate stilt spiders to finding land according to the text
A. The film. B. The shadow. C. The reflected light. D. The pond.

Lilly paused, her plans — going climbing momentarily forgotten, as she watched the older woman’s wheels stuck in the railroad tracks. The woman, with a mixture of frustration and determination across her face, pushed against the stubborn wheels, trying to free herself.
Without hesitation, Lilly approached her. “Do you need some help ” she asked, her voice gentle yet clear.
The woman looked up, surprised and slightly embarrassed. “Oh, dear, I thought I could manage, but these tracks are more of a challenge than I expected,” she admitted.
Lilly smiled. “Let me help you,” she offered, placing her bag on the ground before grasping the handles of the wheelchair. With a joint effort, they managed to get the wheelchair back on solid ground.
“Thank you, young lady. I’m Martha,” the woman introduced herself.

Lilly found herself absorbed in Martha’s stories of past concerts, and the joy that music brought to her life.

Kay Day an 87-year-old UK woman, adores elephants. But Day, suffering from dementia (痴呆),rarely left her nursing home room and hadn’t seen a real elephant for a really long time.
Day is so crazy about elephants that her room is decorated with elephant photos. Day dreamed of seeing an elephant up close again and never thought it would happen. However, Day’s dream became a reality after her nursing home, the Blakelands Lodge care home inMarston Moretaine, took her on a special journey to the Whipsnade Zoo.
“Kay doesn’t join in many activities and tends to spend quite a lot of time alone,” said Carla Blakelands, the Lodge activity manager. “We sat and discussed wishes and found out she would love to see an elephant. We discussed different options and we found the Elephant Experience at Whipsnade Zoo, so we contacted them about our resident.”
Day was so excited about going to the zoo that she marked off the days on her elephant-themed calendar. Day’s carers and family came along on the trip to assist and watch her experience the exciting day. Day was able to pet the Asian elephants and she said that the elephants’ trunk is her favorite part of the animal. “It’s such a wonderful feeling to have an elephant take some food out of your hand, put it in his trunk, curl it up and put it in his mouth,” she told BBC.
Day expressed her gratitude to the people who organized the trip and said it was one of the best days of her life. “I could sit here forever with an elephant sitting by my side,” she said.
Elephant keeper My Eriksson said that the zoo was honored to have played a role in making Day’s dream come true and that it was amazing to meet someone who is as crazy about elephants as the zookeepers at Whipsnade Zoo.
4. What can we say about the Blakelands Lodge care home
A. It funds the Whipsnade Zoo. B. It has a special love for elephants.
C. It seldom organizes outings. D. It cares about its residents’ wishes.

Scientists in the US have come up with an unusual idea for how to solve global warming—cool the Earth by injecting (注入) ice particles into the upper atmosphere to make it drier. Water vapor—water in its gas form—is a natural greenhouse gas that traps heat, just like carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and gas.
Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believe that if they add ice up high in the air, it could dry out the upper atmosphere and reduce its ability to trap human-caused warmth. “By now, it’s just an early idea that scientists could add to their ‘last-ditch toolbox’ against climate change,” said NOAA physicist Dr Joshua Schwarz, lead author of the study published in the scientific journal Science Advances. “This is about exploring what might be possible in the future and identifying research directions,” he said, explaining scientists didn’t find the suitable technology yet.
The approach is one of a few proposed by scientists that aim to reduce the impact of climate by changing the world’s atmosphere or oceans—a practice known as geoengineering.
The way that it could possibly work is that hi-tech planes could inject ice particles about 17 km high, which is just below the stratosphere (平流层), where the air slowly rises. The researchers believe that the ice and cold air would rise to where it’s coldest, making the water vapor turn to ice and fall, drying out the stratosphere in the process.
Injecting two tonnes of ice per week could reduce global heating by about five percent of the overall warming caused by fossil fuels and shouldn’t be used instead of cutting pollution. Researchers were unsure how they would inject the ice and whether or not the practice could cause side effects.
8. Why do scientists want to add ice to the upper atmosphere
A. To dry out the air. B. To increase the greenhouse gas.
C. To explore the space. D. To give off human-caused warmth.
9. What can we know about the ice injection idea
A. It upsets research directions. B. It earns public praise.
C. It hasn’t been put into practice. D. It has proved effective.
10. What could possibly make the water vapor turn into ice
A. The warm air. B. The high-tech planes.
C. The fossil fuels. D. The lowered temperature.
11. From which section of a newspaper is the text probably taken
A. People. B. Environment. C. Education. D. Health.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

The elongate stilt spiders like to hang out in Brian Gall’s boat. While throwing them out of his boat one day, the biologist noticed these spiders quickly darted to the nearest shoreline after landing on the water’s surface. However far Gall’s boat was from land, they seemed to know which way to go.
The elongate stilt spiders make webs on the edges of ponds and streams to catch prey (猎物).So it’s not unusual for them to fall into the water. How they knew which way to go has been unclear. They appear to use light reflected off the water’s surface. It may help them find the shoreline, which is less reflective.
There are some 51,000 known species of spiders. Scientists have studied a few species’ navigation skills — relying on sound, vibrations and chemical signals. Some species use their eight eyes to see the reflected light.
Usually, light waves move in all directions. But they can get together after bouncing off a reflective surface, such as a pond.
To find out the elongate stilt spiders’ homing senses, Gall’s team built test arenas (场所).One was in an outdoor tank, and the other was in a pond in Gall’s backyard.
In some spots, a film (薄膜) they held just above the water reflected incoming sunlight before it hit the surface. That created areas without glare. These spots were meant to copy what land might look like to these spiders. Then, the researchers dropped 68 of these spiders into the water and recorded the movements of each.
The spiders put in the tank raced to covered areas. In the pond, the spiders, dropped between the shore and the covered areas, headed for each option with equal frequency, circling the area until they found land. In both arenas, the spiders choosing covered areas would often circle in and out of the film’s shadow, seemingly searching for the expected shoreline.
“Some previous experiments were done in ponds without the film,” Gall says. “In these, elongate stilt spiders always moved toward land.” The team now concludes the species likely views the reflected light as “not land”.
12. What does the underlined word “darted” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adapted. B. Rushed. C. Led. D. Stuck.
13. Test arenas were built to _________.
A. check the elongate stilt spiders’ ability to catch prey
B. measure the elongate stilt species’ various movement
C. compare the elongate stilt spiders’ different homing senses
D understand the elongate stilt spiders’ special navigation skills
14. What is paragraph 7 mainly about
A. The findings of the tests. B. The methods for the tests.
C. The reasons for using a film. D. The effects of a shadow.
15. What is the key for the elongate stilt spiders to finding land according to the text
A. The film. B. The shadow. C. The reflected light. D. The pond.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C

Lilly paused, her plans — going climbing momentarily forgotten, as she watched the older woman’s wheels stuck in the railroad tracks. The woman, with a mixture of frustration and determination across her face, pushed against the stubborn wheels, trying to free herself.
Without hesitation, Lilly approached her. “Do you need some help ” she asked, her voice gentle yet clear.
The woman looked up, surprised and slightly embarrassed. “Oh, dear, I thought I could manage, but these tracks are more of a challenge than I expected,” she admitted.
Lilly smiled. “Let me help you,” she offered, placing her bag on the ground before grasping the handles of the wheelchair. With a joint effort, they managed to get the wheelchair back on solid ground.

Lilly glanced at her watch, realizing her own plans could wait. “Would you like me to walk with you to the park It’s no trouble.” she offered.

As the concert drew to a close, Martha opened her eyes and turned to Lilly. “Thank you for today, Lilly. You’ve made an old lady very happy,” she said, her voice soft yet filled with sincerity. Lily responded, “It was my pleasur
