【解析】【原文】M: Hi there. I'm Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I've appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it's like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I'm the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who's a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken's birthday is in December, so we're pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren't completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there's hardly any difference in our hair, and we're the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he'll know which one it is.
In character we're mostly similar — we've both always loved music, and we've always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I'm not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We've poured our hearts into it, and we'd be incredibly grateful for your support.

三、阅读理解A
（2024高二上·温州期中）For many, the desire to travel peaks when summer rolls around. To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway.
Paris
Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs- lysées, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists.
Great Barrier Reef
Australia's Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don't have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers.
London
Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London's green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eye. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren't unprecedented (史无前例的). If you're willing to deal with some heat and the crowds the season brings, you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip.
21．What is a suggested way to save money in Paris
A．Booking a vacation rental.
B．Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower.

22．What is one way that tourism can help protect the Great Barrier Reef
A．By sailing on the open area.

【答案】21．A

22．细节理解题。根据Great Barrier Reef部分"And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. (而且，不管你信不信，你的旅游资金可以帮助保护这个迅速消失的自然奇观)"可知，旅游业可以帮助保护大堡礁的一种方式是向保护基金捐款。故选C。

(如果你愿意应对这个季节带来的一些高温和人群，你一定会有一次愉快的旅行)"可知，两个旅游景点都提到了大量的人群。由此可知，在夏季巴黎和伦敦游客面临的共同挑战是拥挤的旅游景点。故选C。
四、B
（2024高二上·温州期中）In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring.
My father had died four months earlier and I had been wearing a gold ring of his that was gifted to me. On the second day of our hike, as the rest of our group set off after lunch, I was walking at the back with my wife when I looked down at my hand where my dad's ring usually was. It was gone.
I spent the next few minutes and hours being comforted by my friends and family and regretting how I could lose something so precious on a hiking trip. My friend encouraged me to search for my ring in my pack, which I did when we stopped for a drink. There was no ring.
We set up camp and settled in at Kingfisher Flat, the most beautiful campsite, sitting beside a flowing creek. That night I went to sleep and eventually reconciled that my ring was gone for good.
Finishing the hike the following day, back at Mambray Creek, my mate said we should have one last look for the ring at the campsite before setting off. I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
As we approached our campsite our friends started searching around the grounds for the ring. I inspected our fuel gauge completely, while my eldest daughter walked to the fire ring where we'd been chatting and laughing. Seconds later I heard my daughter say "I've found it!"
I seriously could not believe what she'd said until she presented me with my dad's ring. I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad's ring was found. This precious chapter made the two nights hiking something I will never forget.
24．What happened after the author losing his father's ring during the hike
A．The author decided to buy a new ring.
B．The group decided to end the trip early.
C．The author received comfort from friends and family.
D．The author immediately found the ring in his sleeping bag.
25．What does the underlined word "reconciled" in paragraph 4 mean
A．Felt angry and frustrated. B．Argued about the situation.
C．Made peace with the situation. D．Found a solution to the problem.
26．Why did the author agree to have one last look for the ring at the campsite
A．Because his friends insisted on searching again.
B．Because he was still hopeful of finding the ring.
C．Because he wanted to spend more time with his family.
D．Because there were toilets nearby, making it a convenient stop.
27．What's the purpose of the story
A．to describe the natural beauty of St. Vincent Gulf and its surroundings.
B．to promote the benefits of family camping trips and outdoor activities.
C．to provide a detailed account of hiking techniques and outdoor survival tips.
D．to share the emotional journey of losing and finding a cherished family treasure.

25．词义猜测题。根据第四段"That night I went to sleep and eventuallyreconciled that my ring was gone for good. (那天晚上，我上床睡觉，并最终reconciled我的戒指永远不见了)"中"eventually"和
"my ring was gone for good"可推知，作者最终接受了戒指丢失这一事实。划线词reconciled意思是"接受，顺从"，与"Made peace with the situation(接受这个情况)"同义。故选C。
26．细节理解题。根据第五段"I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula.(我接受了这个想法，尤其是考虑到附近有厕所，而且回我们在弗勒里厄半岛的家还要开四个小时的车)"可知，作者同意在营地最后再找一次戒指是因为附近有厕所，可以顺便停一下。故选D。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段"In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring.(2020年7月，在两天三天的时间里，我和妻子、三个孩子以及另一家露营的朋友一起欣赏了圣文森特湾的景色，一枚戒指让这段时光变得更加难忘)"以及最后一段"I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad's ring was found.

（2024高二上·温州期中）Britain's last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution.
The Ratcliffe-on-Soar station in central England is to finish its final shift at midnight, after more than half a century of turning coal into power. Owner Uniper says many of the 170 remaining employees will stay on during a two-year decommissioning (停用关闭) process.
The UK government hailed (赞扬) the closure as a milestone in efforts to generate all of Britain's energy from renewable sources by 2030. The shutdown makes Britain the first country from the Group of Seven major economies to phase out coal — though some other European nations, including Sweden and Belgium, got there sooner.
Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant's closure "marks the end of an era and coal workers can be rightly proud of their work powering our country for over 140 years. We owe generations a debt of gratitude as a country. The era of coal might be ending, but a new age of good energy jobs for our country is just beginning."
The world's first coal-fired electricity plant, Edison Electric Light Station, opened in London in 1882. Ratcliffe-on-Soar, which opened in 1968, is a landmark whose eight concrete cooling towers and 199-meter chimney are seen by millions of people a year as they drive past on the M1 highway or speed by on trains.
In 1990 coal provided about 80% of Britain's electricity. By 2012 it had fallen to 39%, and by 2023 it stood at just 1%, according to figures from the National Grid. More than half of Britain's electricity now comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, and the rest from natural gas and nuclear energy.
"Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country's power — generating a third of our electricity," said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy U. K. "So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal's contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement. As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition (转变), it's worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible."
28．What is the significance of the closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar station
A．It marks the beginning of Britain's energy transition.
B．It is the first step towards renewable energy in the UK.
C．It shows the end of coal-generated electricity in Britain.
D．It indicates that Britain has already reached its renewable energy goals.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．The country is in debt and needs to repay its loans to the past generations.
B．The country asked for gratitude from future generations for its current energy policies.
C．The UK's gratitude to coal workers is now complete with the closure of the last coal plant.
D．The UK acknowledged the significant contributions of coal workers throughout the industrial history.
30．What does Dhara Vyas mainly imply in the last paragraph
A．Britain should have aimed for more ambitious energy transition targets earlier.
B．The replacement of coal by clean sources in Britain happened faster than expected.
C．The decline of coal as a power source in Britain was a slow and predictable process.
D．Despite the remarkable shift to clean and low-carbon energy, challenges still remain.
31．Which of the following can be a best title for the text
A．"The Economic Impact of Coal Plant Closures in the UK"
B．"Britain's Coal Legacy: A Century of Power and Progress"
C．"Renewable Energy Triumph: Britain Says Goodbye to Coal"
D．"The Final Countdown: Britain's Last Coal Plant Closes Its Doors"

六、D
（2024高二上·温州期中）Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) may be more capable of adapting to hotter and more acidic (酸性的) oceans than we thought, raising hopes of preserving these biodiverse ecosystems.
Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to our emissions pose a twin threat to the world's coral reefs. Higher temperatures stress corals and this can lead to mass bleaching (漂白) and death. In addition, atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes the water more acidic and weakens coral skeletons. This, along with pollution and overfishing, has already created a crisis for the planet's reefs.
To find out more about the extent and speed at which coral species could adapt, Jury and his colleagues at the University of Hawai'i collected dozens of specimens of eight different coral species from reefs around O'ahu, Hawai'i. They were then grown in an outdoor lab under four different conditions: under today's climate, one with temperatures raised by 2℃ but water chemistry unchanged, another with temperatures held but water chemistry made more acidic, and the last with both temperature and water chemistry changed to produce the warmer, more acidic conditions.
The test lasted as long as six months, but "the corals did surprisingly well", says Jury. All saw lower growth rates-a measure of coral health -under the more stressful conditions. Yet individuals of all species survived the combined stressors, with no clear trade-off between tolerance to heat and acidity.
In fact, there is building evidence of a significant potential to adapt to changing oceans. For instance, in a second study published this month, Melissa Naugle at Southern Cross University in Australia and her colleagues analysed heat tolerance of different coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. They found unexpectedly large variation in heat tolerance, even among corals in the same part of the reef, which could be especially valuable for efforts to restore reefs by breeding more tolerant corals.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," says Lisa McManus at the University of Hawai'i, who wasn't involved with any of the research. But she cautions that any adaptive potential still depends on how much coral is left after extreme events. "In a lot of areas around the world, there's little coral cover left."
32．What is the effect of more acidic oceans on coral reefs
A．Mass bleaching. B．Weakening skeletons.
C．Overfishing and pollution. D．Higher temperatures and CO2.
33．How did Jury and his colleagues conduct their study on corals
A．By collecting from different oceans globally.
B．By growing under only one environmental condition.
C．By testing without considering coral species differences.
D．By cultivating in different conditions with local coral species.
34．What can we learn from Melissa Naugle's study
A．Some species of corals may better help restore reefs.
B．Great Barrier Reef corals' heat tolerance is equally high.
C．Environmental factors solely decide Great Barrier Reef corals' heat tolerance.
D．Heat-tolerance variation among Great Barrier Reef corals is too minor to matter.
35．What is the attitude of Lisa McManus towards the future of coral reefs
A．Assured, expecting full adaptation without worries.
B．Anxious, fearing the approaching loss of coral reefs.
C．Negative, questioning the adaptability of coral reefs.
D．Hopeful, with concerns about post-extreme event survival.

36．（2024高二上·温州期中）Leadership Secret
Amazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called "an interesting milestone." The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.
　 　 The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore selling other stuff to a retailer that once sold mostly books. Then, Amazons stock (股票) is up 397 percent in the last five years.
So, what's behind the success 　 　 Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer, the most important person in the room.
Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about what customers don't want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. 　 　 Amazon's data shows that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.
But it doesn't fully explain the extraordinary success. For Bezos, a data driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazons kindle, for example, came into being because he believed millions would want an e-book reader, downloading any book within 60 seconds. 　 　 Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.
Efficiency — cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon's critics — is also an important part of the Amazon culture. 　 　 In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.
A. In fact, Bezos links the two.
B. That turning point might be Bezos' greatest achievement.
C. He set that target without getting trapped by technical issues.
D. Even the tiniest delay in loading a webpage isn't insignificant.
E. Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service.
F. Bezos could have done it earlier, but he took over twenty years to complete that target.
G. Amazon managers would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rules their lives.

52．句意：这条765英里长的河流是中欧和西欧第二长的河流。two，二，基数词。此处表示"第二长的"，结合空前的the可知，应用其序数词形式。故填second。
53．句意：自罗马帝国时代以来，莱茵河一直是连接南欧和北欧的重要交通路线。此处是指自罗马帝国时期以来，结合句子谓语（现在完成时），故空处表示"自从"，since，介词，符合语境，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Since。
54．句意：自罗马帝国时代以来，莱茵河一直是连接南欧和北欧的重要交通路线。link， 名词（纽带/联系/环节/交通线/链接），动词（把…连接起来/相关联）。空处为非谓语且在句中做后置定语修饰名词短语transportation route，动词link与其逻辑主语transportation route构成逻辑上的主动关系，故空处应用现在分词作后置定语。故填linking。
55．句意：它途经六个国家：瑞士、列支敦士登公国、奥地利、德国、法国和荷兰。pass，经过/通过/传递，动词。空处为句子的谓语，此处陈述客观事实，故谓语时态为一般现在时，根据主谓一致原则，主语It为第三人称单数形式，故谓语应用三单式。故填passes。
56．考查介词。句意：随着莱茵河进入德国，它形成了德国和法国的边界。此处为固定短语between…and…意为"在……和……之间"符合句意，所以此处使用介词between。故填between。
57．句意：大量来自城镇、农场和工业的未经处理的废物被倾倒入水中，导致曾经丰富的鲑鱼在1958年消失。disappear，消失，动词。空处在句中作介词to的宾语，空处表示"消失"，disappearance，不可数名词，符合语境。故填disappearance。
58．句意：几年前，莱茵河被认为是欧洲污染最严重的河流之一。consider，思考/认为，动词。空处为句子的谓语，动词consider与主语the Rhine之间为被动关系，结合时间状语years ago可知，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，根据主谓一致原则，主语为the Rhine第三人称单数，故be动词应用was。故填was considered。
59．句意：1986年，瑞士一家化工厂的火灾使污染问题更加严重，杀死了数百万条河流沿岸的鱼类和野生动物。fire意为"火灾"，为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，文中第一次提及chemical factory fire，因此用不定冠词，chemical 的首个音素为辅音，所以使用不定冠词a。故填a。
60．句意：1986年，瑞士一家化工厂的火灾使污染问题更加严重，杀死了数百万条河流沿岸的鱼类和野生动物。bad， 坏的/不好的/严重的/厉害的/劣质的/不合格的，形容词。空处在句中作宾语补足语，用于描述宾语the pollution problem的特征，且被much修饰，应用其比较级形式。故填worse。
61．句意：鲑鱼是一种对它们所生活的水质非常敏感的鱼类。sense， 名词（感觉/感官/意识/观念/理智/意义/含义），动词（感觉到/意识到/觉察出/检测出）。空处在句中做表语，空处表示"敏感的"，sensitive，形容词，符合语境，此处为固定短语be sensitive to，"对……敏感"。故填sensitive。

（2024高二上·温州期中）For many, the desire to travel peaks when summer rolls around. To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway.
Paris
Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs- lysées, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists.
Great Barrier Reef
Australia's Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don't have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers.
London
Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London's green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eye. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren't unprecedented (史无前例的). If you're willing to deal with some heat and the crowds the season brings, you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip.
21．What is a suggested way to save money in Paris
A．Booking a vacation rental.
B．Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower.

D．Dining alfresco at a cafe along the Champs- lysées.
22．What is one way that tourism can help protect the Great Barrier Reef
A．By sailing on the open area.
B．By promoting diving activities.
C．By contributing to protection funds.
D．By kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach.
23．What is a common challenge faced by tourists in both Paris and London during the summer

C．Crowded tourist sites.
D．Limited access to popular attractions.
四、B
（2024高二上·温州期中）In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring.
My father had died four months earlier and I had been wearing a gold ring of his that was gifted to me. On the second day of our hike, as the rest of our group set off after lunch, I was walking at the back with my wife when I looked down at my hand where my dad's ring usually was. It was gone.
I spent the next few minutes and hours being comforted by my friends and family and regretting how I could lose something so precious on a hiking trip. My friend encouraged me to search for my ring in my pack, which I did when we stopped for a drink. There was no ring.
We set up camp and settled in at Kingfisher Flat, the most beautiful campsite, sitting beside a flowing creek. That night I went to sleep and eventually reconciled that my ring was gone for good.
Finishing the hike the following day, back at Mambray Creek, my mate said we should have one last look for the ring at the campsite before setting off. I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
As we approached our campsite our friends started searching around the grounds for the ring. I inspected our fuel gauge completely, while my eldest daughter walked to the fire ring where we'd been chatting and laughing. Seconds later I heard my daughter say "I've found it!"
I seriously could not believe what she'd said until she presented me with my dad's ring. I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad's ring was found. This precious chapter made the two nights hiking something I will never forget.
24．What happened after the author losing his father's ring during the hike
A．The author decided to buy a new ring.
B．The group decided to end the trip early.
C．The author received comfort from friends and family.
D．The author immediately found the ring in his sleeping bag.
25．What does the underlined word "reconciled" in paragraph 4 mean
A．Felt angry and frustrated. B．Argued about the situation.
C．Made peace with the situation. D．Found a solution to the problem.
26．Why did the author agree to have one last look for the ring at the campsite
A．Because his friends insisted on searching again.
B．Because he was still hopeful of finding the ring.
C．Because he wanted to spend more time with his family.
D．Because there were toilets nearby, making it a convenient stop.
27．What's the purpose of the story
A．to describe the natural beauty of St. Vincent Gulf and its surroundings.
B．to promote the benefits of family camping trips and outdoor activities.
C．to provide a detailed account of hiking techniques and outdoor survival tips.
D．to share the emotional journey of losing and finding a cherished family treasure.
五、C
（2024高二上·温州期中）Britain's last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution.
The Ratcliffe-on-Soar station in central England is to finish its final shift at midnight, after more than half a century of turning coal into power. Owner Uniper says many of the 170 remaining employees will stay on during a two-year decommissioning (停用关闭) process.
The UK government hailed (赞扬) the closure as a milestone in efforts to generate all of Britain's energy from renewable sources by 2030. The shutdown makes Britain the first country from the Group of Seven major economies to phase out coal — though some other European nations, including Sweden and Belgium, got there sooner.
Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant's closure "marks the end of an era and coal workers can be rightly proud of their work powering our country for over 140 years. We owe generations a debt of gratitude as a country. The era of coal might be ending, but a new age of good energy jobs for our country is just beginning."
The world's first coal-fired electricity plant, Edison Electric Light Station, opened in London in 1882. Ratcliffe-on-Soar, which opened in 1968, is a landmark whose eight concrete cooling towers and 199-meter chimney are seen by millions of people a year as they drive past on the M1 highway or speed by on trains.
In 1990 coal provided about 80% of Britain's electricity. By 2012 it had fallen to 39%, and by 2023 it stood at just 1%, according to figures from the National Grid. More than half of Britain's electricity now comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, and the rest from natural gas and nuclear energy.
"Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country's power — generating a third of our electricity," said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy U. K. "So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal's contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement. As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition (转变), it's worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible."
28．What is the significance of the closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar station
A．It marks the beginning of Britain's energy transition.
B．It is the first step towards renewable energy in the UK.
C．It shows the end of coal-generated electricity in Britain.
D．It indicates that Britain has already reached its renewable energy goals.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．The country is in debt and needs to repay its loans to the past generations.
B．The country asked for gratitude from future generations for its current energy policies.
C．The UK's gratitude to coal workers is now complete with the closure of the last coal plant.
D．The UK acknowledged the significant contributions of coal workers throughout the industrial history.
30．What does Dhara Vyas mainly imply in the last paragraph
A．Britain should have aimed for more ambitious energy transition targets earlier.
B．The replacement of coal by clean sources in Britain happened faster than expected.
C．The decline of coal as a power source in Britain was a slow and predictable process.
D．Despite the remarkable shift to clean and low-carbon energy, challenges still remain.
31．Which of the following can be a best title for the text
A．"The Economic Impact of Coal Plant Closures in the UK"
B．"Britain's Coal Legacy: A Century of Power and Progress"
C．"Renewable Energy Triumph: Britain Says Goodbye to Coal"
D．"The Final Countdown: Britain's Last Coal Plant Closes Its Doors"

（2024高二上·温州期中）Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) may be more capable of adapting to hotter and more acidic (酸性的) oceans than we thought, raising hopes of preserving these biodiverse ecosystems.
Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to our emissions pose a twin threat to the world's coral reefs. Higher temperatures stress corals and this can lead to mass bleaching (漂白) and death. In addition, atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes the water more acidic and weakens coral skeletons. This, along with pollution and overfishing, has already created a crisis for the planet's reefs.
To find out more about the extent and speed at which coral species could adapt, Jury and his colleagues at the University of Hawai'i collected dozens of specimens of eight different coral species from reefs around O'ahu, Hawai'i. They were then grown in an outdoor lab under four different conditions: under today's climate, one with temperatures raised by 2℃ but water chemistry unchanged, another with temperatures held but water chemistry made more acidic, and the last with both temperature and water chemistry changed to produce the warmer, more acidic conditions.
The test lasted as long as six months, but "the corals did surprisingly well", says Jury. All saw lower growth rates-a measure of coral health -under the more stressful conditions. Yet individuals of all species survived the combined stressors, with no clear trade-off between tolerance to heat and acidity.
In fact, there is building evidence of a significant potential to adapt to changing oceans. For instance, in a second study published this month, Melissa Naugle at Southern Cross University in Australia and her colleagues analysed heat tolerance of different coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. They found unexpectedly large variation in heat tolerance, even among corals in the same part of the reef, which could be especially valuable for efforts to restore reefs by breeding more tolerant corals.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," says Lisa McManus at the University of Hawai'i, who wasn't involved with any of the research. But she cautions that any adaptive potential still depends on how much coral is left after extreme events. "In a lot of areas around the world, there's little coral cover left."
32．What is the effect of more acidic oceans on coral reefs
A．Mass bleaching. B．Weakening skeletons.
C．Overfishing and pollution. D．Higher temperatures and CO2.
33．How did Jury and his colleagues conduct their study on corals
A．By collecting from different oceans globally.
B．By growing under only one environmental condition.
C．By testing without considering coral species differences.
D．By cultivating in different conditions with local coral species.
34．What can we learn from Melissa Naugle's study
A．Some species of corals may better help restore reefs.
B．Great Barrier Reef corals' heat tolerance is equally high.
C．Environmental factors solely decide Great Barrier Reef corals' heat tolerance.
D．Heat-tolerance variation among Great Barrier Reef corals is too minor to matter.
35．What is the attitude of Lisa McManus towards the future of coral reefs
A．Assured, expecting full adaptation without worries.
B．Anxious, fearing the approaching loss of coral reefs.
C．Negative, questioning the adaptability of coral reefs.
D．Hopeful, with concerns about post-extreme event survival.

The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.
　 　 The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore selling other stuff to a retailer that once sold mostly books. Then, Amazons stock (股票) is up 397 percent in the last five years.
So, what's behind the success 　 　 Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer, the most important person in the room.
Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about what customers don't want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. 　 　 Amazon's data shows that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.
But it doesn't fully explain the extraordinary success. For Bezos, a data driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazons kindle, for example, came into being because he believed millions would want an e-book reader, downloading any book within 60 seconds. 　 　 Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.
Efficiency — cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon's critics — is also an important part of the Amazon culture. 　 　 In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.
A. In fact, Bezos links the two.
B. That turning point might be Bezos' greatest achievement.
C. He set that target without getting trapped by technical issues.
D. Even the tiniest delay in loading a webpage isn't insignificant.
E. Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service.
F. Bezos could have done it earlier, but he took over twenty years to complete that target.
G. Amazon managers would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rules their lives.

It was a cold winter Monday morning. Manu an eight-year-old was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs, at the Khagal house. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school. "Manu, wake up! It's school time!" shouted out Manu's mother Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and ignored his mother's repeated attempts to wake him up. "Manu! It's already 6 o'clock and your school bus will be here by 7. So please wake up and get ready. Manu continued sleeping.
Finally, after much pestering and pampering (纠缠和纵容), Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his house while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to his school bus.
"Phew! Manu didn't miss his bus today" Akhila sighed. She was really concerned about her son. Manu couldn't do anything on time, waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. Akhila thought to herself "need to work out a plan to teach him a lesson in self-discipline (自律). Repeated advice and warnings haven't changed him."
The next day it was the usual scene at the Khagal house except that there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was 7. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave. There was unusual confidence on Akhila's face. Manu finally woke up at around 9 o' clock. He ran down to the kitchen and cried out "Mom! Why didn't you wake me up The school bus has already left and I am really late for school today." He couldn't stop crying. "I have a math test today and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test." The calm face of Akhila made Manu feel more anxious.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
"Mom, what should I do now Please help!" said Manu weepingly.

【知识点】独白
【解析】【原文】M: Hi there. I'm Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I've appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it's like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I'm the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who's a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken's birthday is in December, so we're pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren't completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there's hardly any difference in our hair, and we're the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he'll know which one it is.
In character we're mostly similar — we've both always loved music, and we've always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I'm not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We've poured our hearts into it, and we'd be incredibly grateful for your support.
