阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Here are four European music venues (举办场所) that are worth visiting.
Dalhalla, Sweden
The history of this place goes back about 360 million years. A meteorite (陨石) hit the ground and changed the land in this part of Sweden, about 280 kilometers from Stockholm. This place was once a quarry (采石场) where people dug out a lot of stone. The rock walls around the seats make the sound very good. Dalhalla has been used for concerts since 1993 and can hold up to 6,000 people.
St Michael’s Fortress, ibenik
The music has to be good in ibenik on the Croatian coast, because it would be easy to allow your eyes to look beyond the stage at the pretty islands lying in the bright blue of the Adriatic Sea below. This small open-air venue, which has space for a little more than 1,000 people, is inside the walls of the fortress (堡垒), which is hundreds of years old.
St Michael’s Cave, Gibraltar
Some underground venues may feel like caves but this venue in Gibraltar in the south of Spain is one in a real cave. Long fingers of rock look down from above, and colorful lights climb the sides of the cave, where 600 people can watch concerts and other events.
The Arena of N mes
In the center of this southern French city, this huge old arena can seat as many as 20,000 people. And every summer, a series of concerts called the Festival de Nimes bring musicians from across France and around the world to perform there. There aren’t many Roman buildings that are still in such good condition, so whether or not there’s a concert happening, it’s a place that’s worth a trip.
1 What can audience see besides enjoying a concert in ibenik
A. Falling meteorites. B. Beautiful islands. C. Colorful lights. D. Roman buildings.
2. Which venue can hold the most people
A Dalhalla. B. St Michael’s Fortress. C. St Michael’s Cave. D. The Arena of N mes.
3. What do the four venues have in common
A. They offer concerts and events. B. They own unique things.
C. They stand in usual places. D. They have a long history.
B
Cesare Mencarini is a high school student. His focus was on math, chemistry and physics.
Cesare’s mother is an architect and his father is an electronic engineer. As a child, Cesare became interested in electronics. He loved to experiment. He learned to program computers and equipment like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. He also worked with a 3D printer.
After seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆), Cesare decided he would do something meaningful, too. The school wasn’t so excited about the idea. But Cesare worked to persuade his teachers. Finally, after a complete safety review, and with an extra advisor offering to help out, the school agreed.
Cesare was a strong student but his regular classes weren’t teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing research, looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. He would read, watch 10 or 15 videos, and then try to solve the problem. He also visited a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience.
Step by step, working long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor, Cesare built the reactor. Last June, at the very end of the school year, the reactor was finished. Over a year has passed since then. Cesare has continued to improve the reactor. He has built complicated equipment to control the pressure and to better see and understand what’s going on inside the reactor.
He’s one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor. But for Cesare, it wasn’t just about the reactor. It was also about learning by doing, and about making connections with other people doing similar things. College is the next stop for Cesare — perhaps in England, perhaps in Italy. No matter where he goes, he’ll probably continue to change people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve.
4. What made Cesare determined to build a fusion reactor
A. His interest in videos. B. The inspiration from someone.
C. His parents’ influence. D. The support from his school.
5. What do we say about Cesare from paragraph 4
A. He struggled to prepare for the reactor. B. He depended heavily on useful videos.
C. He worked with experienced scientists. D. He had difficulty in getting information.
6. What is Cesare expected to do in the future
A. Build another reactor. B. Learn new things through the Internet.
C. Make greater progress. D. Go to a famous college.
7. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Videos Act As A Teacher B. Cesare Became A Rising Star
C. How To Put Theory Into Practice D. A Boy Successfully Built A Reactor
C
We know that fruits and vegetables can help to keep our bodies healthy. According to a new study, eating fruits in middle age could also help to reduce the chances of developing depression (抑郁) later in life though we should pay attention to the amount of fruits we eat.
Researchers from China and Singapore wanted to find out more about whether eating fruits and vegetables could have an effect on our mental health. They looked at more than 13,700 Chinese adults who were living in Singapore. The study period began between 1993 and 1998 when the Chinese adults were aged between 45 and 74. Everyone was asked about the fruits and vegetables they liked to eat. 14 fruits and 25 types of vegetables were included in the questionnaire (问卷).
The Chinese adults were followed for an average of almost 20 years. By this time, they were aged between 61 and 96. They were asked to complete a questionnaire that could decide whether older people develop depression. At the end of the study period, almost 3,200 people had the feeling of depression.
The researchers found that higher consumption of fruits during middle age was connected with a lower probability of developing depression in late life. Those who ate the most fruits were 29% less likely to develop depression compared to those who ate the least. However, they didn’t find any connection between eating vegetables and developing depression.
It was suggested that the reason for this may be that fruits are usually eaten raw, while vegetables are often cooked. Cooking vegetables might limit the “protective effects” of the nutrients (营养物) in the foods, the researchers suggested, although they said more research was needed.
All types of fruits were found to have an effect, especially oranges, bananas, papayas and watermelons.
8. How is the study conducted
A. By talking with people living in China. B. By filling in the questionnaire in a lab.
C. By comparing fruits to many vegetables. D. By researching subjects for a long time.
9. What does the underlined word “consumption” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Eating. B. Contact. C. Advancement. D. Concentration.
10. What do we know about the influence of vegetables on depression
A. They prove better than fruits. B. Researchers have got no related proof.
C. They are the key to treating depression. D. Cooking them influences mental health.
11. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Exploring the correct methods of cooking vegetables.
B. Describing different fruits recommended by the doctor.
C Further discussing why fruits could decrease depression.
D. Explaining how vegetables damage nutrients in the foods.
D
Heat waves don’t just make bumblebees (大黄蜂) hot. High temperatures also seem to seriously reduce their sense of smell, which can be very bad for their survival. For bumblebees, being able to smell flowers is a matter of life or death because it helps them find food.
Bumblebees are already known to suffer from climate change. So, a researcher from the University of Würzburg in Germany and her team wanted to understand if heat waves could influence bumblebees’ ability to smell flowers.
The researchers put around 190 bumblebees from two common species into small special rooms for almost three hours at temperatures of 40℃ to simulate (模拟) heat waves. Some bumblebees were also put in a dry environment; some had ways to sugary resources; some were given time to recover at normal temperatures for 24 hours after the heat treatment. After the simulated heat waves, the researchers cut off the bumblebees’ antennae (触须), which they use to smell, and measured whether the olfactory sensory neurons (the cells that help them smell) in the antennae could still detect flower scents.
The heat waves reduced the bumblebees’ ability to smell by up to 80 percent. Worker bumblebees, which are all female, were more affected than male bumblebees. Even worse, the antennae of the bumblebees that had 24 hours to cool off still didn’t recover their sense of smell after that time. “That was surprising,” said the researcher. This suggests the bumblebees don’t recover quickly, which means they might have trouble finding food. “It could be one reason why we see so many bumblebee’s population drops,” she added, along with other factors like habitat loss.
“The study seems pretty reliable,” said a bumblebee ecologist from the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, who didn’t take part in the study. “The antennae are quite similar across bee species,” he added. “If bumblebees suffer in this way, I think it’s probable that other bees would too. But we won’t know for sure until someone does research on it.”
12. What problem might bumblebees face in the end because of heat waves
A. Death risk. B. Habitat loss. C. Food shortage. D. Sensory failure.
13. Why were some bumblebees given 24 hours to recover after the treatment
A. To prevent the researchers making mistakes.
B. To make sure they can adapt to the environment.
C. To prove if hot waves damage their sense of smell.
D. To persuade other people into believing the research.
14. What does the researcher think of the research result
A. It leads to a good method.
B. It goes beyond her control.
C. It limits the scientific research on bumblebees.
D. It explains why the bumblebee’s population reduced.
15. What can we learn about other bees according to the bumblebee ecologist
A. There is still a lot to study. B. They will suffer from death.
C. They will be well protected. D. More researchers are studying them.
