3、ew with the host Harvey.The contestants are judged according to their overall stage impact and popularity. Jersey Shore Although this reality show ended in 2012, its popularity is yet to decrease.The show concentrates on the adventures of eight housemates who lived in the Jersey Shore.Their adventur
4、es took them in different places outside New Jersey, such as Miami Beach and Italy.Maybe the popularity of this show is partly due to the arguments surrounding it.This reality show series has been shown to a lot of countries worldwide. Survivor This reality show follows a competition format where a
5、group of contestants were placed in a faraway location, usually an island.They were given challenges, in addition to looking after themselves.They have to complete all challenges, on top of finding food, water, fire, and shelter to go through each day.Rewards come after winning challenges.The only s
6、urvivor of the competition brings home all the prizes. The Voice The Voice is a singing competition reality show.Originating from Holland, its format is a bit different from other shows of its type.Contestants were asked to sing with the judges facing away from them.The judges can hear them but cant

9、 to be carried out. BContestants need to have artistic talent. CJudges will work together with the contestants. DA winner will be selected from the contestants. B Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries t
10、o “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.” Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), ti
11、me travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million- dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. “Although there are several interesting theories about time travel,” he add
12、ed, “the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.” When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and
13、 other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but arent yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.” When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is impo
14、rtant,” Greene said. “But I think its really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.” Greene has followed Albert Einsteins lead in trying to solv
15、e the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” Its about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) and having fun! 4A million- dollar question in Paragraph 2 is probably very . Adire

Aare boring to read Bare mainly about math Care popular science books Dare only popular among kids 6According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with? AModern physics is a boring subject. BInterest plays an imp
17、ortant role in studying. CIt is not necessary to learn all about physics. DIt is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang. 7In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that . Akids can love science and physics Bkids can do well in physics exams Ckids can have fun with experiments Dkids can find more st
18、range things in life C Satellites in space measure temperatures over large areas of the ocean.They are, however, less specific when it comes to measuring temperatures along the coast.However, there is a new solution. Scientists want people who do water sports to help them gather coastal climate data
19、.This includes surfers, divers and fishermen.The idea came from new data collected by scientists who are also surfers.The group was led by a scientist in England named Bob Brewin.The group designed a surfboard that could be their laboratory.The results show different water temperatures than what the
20、 satellites have shown. Coastlines are important to the economy.Large amounts of people use them for business and fun.Coastlines are also important for the environment because they are home to many different plants and animals. Brewin says satellite data alone cannot be trusted.So, his team wants vo
21、lunteers to gather data during their water activities.The information the volunteers find will be used along with satellite readings.The scientists think this will result in more accurate information.“We can begin to understand how our coastal environment is responding to climate change,” Brewin sai
22、d. They want surfers to check water surfaces and divers to measure temperatures deeper in the water.The information would then go into the scientists database. Meanwhile, a group of scientists from Europe had another idea.The group is interested in boots that some fishermen use.These boots sense wat
23、er temperatures.The scientists think the fishermen who wear those boots could be connected to a data- collection system. Many water sports take place in areas that are important for sea life.These locations can be difficult to check, Brewin says.For example, ocean waves can ruin data- collection flo
24、ats and boats.So, coastal sea- surface temperature records are poor. 8Whats the problem with satellites? AThey cant measure temperatures over the ocean. BThey cant locate coasts very accurately. CThey might provide unreliable data. DThey break down frequently. 9What did Brewins team do? AThey turned
25、 a surfboard into a lab. BThey did research on water sports. CThey made efforts to learn surfing. DThey made friends with fishermen. 10How can volunteers help Brewin? AAnalyze satellite readings. BCompare data from different sources. CWear boots designed by Brewins group. DGo into waters of differen
26、t depths to collect data. 11Why is it difficult to check the temperature of coastlines? ASurfers face great danger. BBeaches cover huge areas. CData- collection boats are too big. DWaves damage the measuring equipment. D Trees, some of the tallest in the world, towered above Hannah Griffiths and her
27、 colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Borneo, where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures: termites (白蚁) Termites get a bum rap. They make headlines for something like two percent of global carbon e
28、missions, simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the US. And they are responsible for chewing through carbon- rich materials. A whole industry is aiming at killing them. But they play a key role in many natural ecosyste
29、ms. Scientists have known for years that in tropical (热带的) forests, termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants, insects, and animals. But they didnt know exactly
30、how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional, so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded. As luck would have it, Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment when the forest was hit by an extreme drought. Duri
31、ng the non- drought years, they saw there wasnt much difference between the normal plots and the ones where theyd removed the termites. But during the drought, the effects were marked. What they found was unexpected: in the termite- rich areas, the soil stayed slightly wet, more tree seedlings sprou
32、ted (抽芽), and the system was full of activity despite the long, hard dry spell. For Griffiths, it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system, she points out. “And that rings alarm bells in my head,” she says, “because it
33、 makes me think, well, what else dont we know? If we start damaging biological communities, we dont know what that will do.” 12 Which of the following best explains “a bum rap” underlined in Paragraph 2? AUnfair blame. BWide popularity. CPublic attention. DSpecial preference. 13What have scientists
34、learned about termites? AThey do serious harm to tropical rain forests. BThey contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in. CThey act as food for other plants, insects and animals. DThey speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest. 14What can we infer from the finding of Griffiths experiment?
35、 ATermites help rainforests survive climate change. BTermites prefer drought years to non- drought ones. CTermites benefit more from the forest during the drought. DTermites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought. 15What does Griffiths tell us in the last paragraph? ATermites are now in dang
36、er of extinction. BTermites damage biological communities. CWe should think twice before damaging a species. DWe should study the drought to improve the system. 第二节第二节(共共 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分分,满分 12.5 分分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。有两项为多余选项。 In the s
