Are there any lakes in your hometown What color are they Around one-third of the world's lakes are blue, according to a study in September 2022. But global warming may lead them to turn green or even brown, and countries with most lakes may be affected the most. If the temperature continues to rise, one in every ten lakes might change color.
Xiao Yang from Southern Methodist University in the US and his team analyzed (分析) the color of over 85,000 lakes based on the satellite photos taken from 2013 to 2020. The study has found that lakes in places with cooler summer average air temperatures-below 19℃-were more likely to be blue than lakes in places with warmer summers.
According to the research, the color of a lake is partly decides by what's in the water. Water molecules absorb the long wavelengths of sunlight, such as red and yellow, leaving behind the shorter ones presenting green and blue. Simply put, the cleaner the water, the bluer it looks.
Lakes serve as an important part of our environment, with their color being one of the oldest ways to determine the health of an ecosystem. Humans get their drinking water from lakes, streams and ground water. As they become greener, people may lose lots of clean water. Because of this, dealing with the water of such lakes becomes more expensive.
At the same time, blue lakes are also a source of a place to help people stay peaceful. Some countries according to Catherine O' Reilly, even considered blue lakes as a spiritual(精神的) place. As these lakes disappear, they may feel upset.

7.What's the main reason that changes the color of lakes
A.The rise of air temperature. B.The drop of fish population.

C.By comparing satellite lake photos.
D.By doing different experiments.
9.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A.Why is it important for people to protect the environment

10.Why are the lakes so important for people according to the passage

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
If you've been studying for a while, you'll notice that there is more than one type of "English". The website, Big Seven Travel, made a list of the world's 50 most attractive accents(口音), and many different kinds of English made the list.
The main reasons that affect the way people speak a language are geography — where they are in the world, and society — the way their communities speak. As a result, English has many differences in vocabulary and slang(俚语).
Located in two different places, the US and the UK provide great examples. They often have different words for the same things. The US people call the back part of a car, used for carrying big and heavy things or suitcases, the"trunk", but in the UK, people call it the"boot". In the US, the word"boot" means a wheel clamp(车轮夹锁) that police put on a car.
Slang also causes confusion (困惑). The US slang is hugely different thanks to many kinds of people who have moved to the country. African- American slang is especially confusing for foreign language learners. It uses its own grammar. For example, "a person who is awake to reality" would be called"a woke person". Southern American slang also can be confusing. "I'm fixing to fix it" means"I'm getting ready to fix it". Australian slang, meanwhile, is all about abbreviations(缩写词). They say"sanga" for"sandwich", "brekkie" for"breakfast", and"arvo" for"afternoon". It can make you wonder if either of these countries is actually speaking English.
English writer Virginia Woolf once wrote, "Language is wine upon the lips. " The next time you're speaking English with someone, check the accent on the bottle!
11.According to the passage, how many reasons affect the way people speak
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

A.A car. B.The suitcase.

My phone rang. It was a text from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s. "What a strange picture to receive!" I thought to myself.
For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful sixth grader.
"My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbeque dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it, " it said.
"YUMMMY!" I carefully responded.
The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the" Bowery Mission, " which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and trying different sports. I then joined the group texts. When a message came about donating food, I texted back, "Count me in!"
However, I started to feel bad about this lie. A man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends.
Throughout this time, I noticed how much Jared's life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am. Learning from Jared, I have grown out of the naughty self, made more efforts tor my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项
Blue is a very common color in our lives-the sky, the sea and even face masks are often blue. But this color is not frequently(经常) seen in plants. Why is that
A. Because blue plants would blend in(融合) with the sky and sea.
B. Because animals prefer to eat blue plants.
C. Because the material that gives plants a blue color is rare(稀有的)
D. Because blue isn't a beneficial(有助的)color for plant growth.
The correct answer is D
There is no true blue pigment(色素)in nature. When light hits an object(物体), the object absorbs(吸收)some colors and reflects(反射)others. For example, plants look green because they reflect green light and absorb other colors. Blue light offers more energy than other colors. However, if a plant has blue leaves, according to scientists from the University at Adelaide in Australia, it must absorb(吸收) very small amounts of energy while reflecting high-energy blue light. This is not a good strategy(策略) for growth.
Less than 10 percent of plants are blue. Plants make blue flowers by mixing pigments. For example, anthocyanins(花青素)can turn into a blue-likes color with a certain amount of acidity(酸度). Plants may make use of this unique color to attract pollinators(传粉者), such as bees.
21.What is the main reason that blue is not frequently seen in plants, according to the text
A.Blue plants blend in with the sky and sea.
B.Animals prefer to avoid blue plants.
C.The material needed to produce blue color in plants is rare.

C.The object absorbs some colors and reflects others
D.Objects change colors depending on the light source.
23.According to scientists from the University of Adelaide, what happens to a plant with blue leaves
A.It absorbs more energy from blue light.
B.It reflects all colors of light equally.
C.It absorbs very little energy while reflecting high-energy blue light.
D.It uses blue light for photosynthesis(光合作用) more efficiently.
24.What percentage of plants have blue flowers or leaves
A.More than 50% B.Less than 10%
C.Exactly 10% D.Around 25%
25.What purpose might plants have for using blue flowers

You must have heard of "city bu city"(meaning city or not city), an internet buzzword(流行语)created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. It's used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city.
Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy(过境免签政策) plays an important role in this trend(潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document(文件)and a connecting ticket(联运机票) to leave.

Yuyuantantian, a new media account(账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

In a reply, the city's education authority (官 方 ; 当 局) said schools can independently decide the number of weekly class hours and the time of each class for each subject, and that schools can also reasonably arrange(安排) the courses of each subject.
