阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
How bloody a scene! Blood Falls in Antarctica is a waterfall (瀑布) which shoots blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect background for a horror film: mysterious and of course bloody. Its special color was long believed to be caused by the red algae (海藻). Until 2017, the true cause of the so-called blood was proved to be oxidized iron in saltwater.Impressive yet a dangerous sight, frozen bubbles (气泡) can be seen in winters at Abraham Lake in Canada. When methane (甲烷) gas gets crowded underwater and freezes, it will finally form the special sight—frozen bubbles. Such plenty of methane is highly risky. So even a lit match nearby can cause an explosion (爆炸).Mirror of the SkyDuring the new moon and full moon periods, tourists can see a clear reflection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach in Malaysia. The smooth sand and the lowest water level create such an unbelievable sight. Also known as the “Mirror of the Sky”, this water beach is an amazing place to take pictures and thus a perfect travel destination.
( )1. What really cause (s) the water shot by Blood Falls to be blood-red
A. Oxidized iron. B. The Red algae.
C. Methane gas. D. Horrible films.
( )2. Which would be the best heading for the second news
A. How beautiful a lake! B. Too dangerous to visit!

D. Two people stay in the same position upside down.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying areas.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
( )4. How can a certain kind of ants find their way
A. By imagining the way.
B. By counting their steps.
C. By bringing food together.
D. By walking through a forest.
( )5. What can some fish do with the help of the earth’s magnetic field
A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home.
B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area.
C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back.
D. They can make a smell map of their swimming areas.
( )6. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph
A. To help animals. B. To travel at night.
C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities.
( )7. What is the structure of the passage
A. B.
C. D.
C
Surrounded (围绕) by trees and filled with ponds (池塘) and pools of water, the Chinese village of Ding Wuling should be covered with mosquitoes (蚊子), especially during the summer time. However, it is reported that mosquitoes haven’t been seen here for almost a century.
The village with a long history is in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province. There are many special stone houses. But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery — the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes.
It’s unclear whether scientists ever made a survey to get to know this mystery. But most of the people in Ding Wuling believe it has something to do with the toad-shaped (蟾蜍形状的) stone. They believe that the stone prevents the mosquitoes from entering the village.
Another popular explanation (解释) has to do with the local villagers’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village. When the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the local villagers hoped that experts (专家) could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery and put Ding Wuling on the tourist map.
Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery, so it’s possible that the whole thing was made up to help develop tourism in the area. Then again, there might be something special about that toad-shaped stone. Who knows
( )8. What is the village known for
A. The fact that there are no mosquitoes in this village.
B. The village’s special stone houses.
C. The village is in the mountains.
D. The good weather during the summer time.

A. The stone. B. The mosquito.
C. The rubbish. D. The village.
( )10. The mention of the People’s Daily newspaper in the passage serves to ____.
A. provide a fact that the mosquito mystery is widely known
B. suggest that the media (媒体) made up the whole story
C. further show the locals’ hope for the scientific explanation
D. give people a way to show their own opinions
( )11. Why did the writer write the passage
A. To tell us the good habits of people in Ding Wuling.
B. To tell us something about the mystery of the mosquito-free village.
C. To suggest a good place to travel.
D. To explain people’s findings in Ding Wuling.
D
Most of us know what it’s like to get presents from friends. Whether it’s for a birthday or other celebrations, it’s hard to beat the excitement of opening a box to find something that’s unexpected and fits you well. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That’s the feeling that mystery boxes hope to give you.
Mystery boxes are not a new idea—People did this in stores in Japan in the early 20th century. They sell a group of different products more cheaply than normal. The key thing is that customers don’t know what’s in the box before they buy. All kinds of mystery boxes are available: fashion boxes, food boxes, beauty boxes and so on.
The pleasant surprise is not the only amazing thing about mystery boxes. They also allow people to try new things. Seasonal (季节性的) vegetable boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also help people to save money—as these products are often far more expensive than when they are in the mystery boxes. For sellers the benefit (收益) is clear. It allows them to sell their unwanted products in their stores. The British fashion mystery box boss Mario Maher explains how mystery boxes can help to make the waste less. If some of these products are not sold in the mystery boxes, they will probably be thrown away.
However, there is a downside to mystery boxes when you buy them. You don’t know what you’ll get! It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste, and there is also the risk for cheats to sell products in the mystery box more expensively.
So, are mystery boxes a fun way of making waste less and making shopping more exciting Or are they Just a way to trick people and make them disappointed It’s something to think about!
( )12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. The start of mystery boxes.
B. The changes of mystery boxes.
C. The bad things of mystery boxes.
D. The good things of mystery boxes.
( )13. What is the benefit of mystery boxes for sellers
A. They can help to make the waste beautiful.
B. They can throw away their unwanted products.
C. They can sell their products more expensively.
D. They can sell their unwanted products in their stores.
( )14. What’s the Chinese meaning of “downside” in Paragraph 4
A. 积极 B. 负面
C. 下边 D. 斜边
( )15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Mystery boxes usually make people excited.

范文：
There are only three girls with good English handwriting in our class. They are Rose, Lisa and Lucy.
The paper without the name might belong to Rose, but I’m not sure. Because she is not so good at English. It can’t be Lisa’s. Although she is a top student and does well in English, she has already got hers in hand. So it must belong to Lucy. Today she asks for sick leave and stays at home. What’s more, she often gets full marks in English exams. Well, now I’m sure it’s hers.
