Scientists are studying the design and the biological processes of these organisms to get ideas for products and technologies. This field of study is called biomimetics. Here are two examples. Toucan Bills and Car Safety Toucan usually has enormous bills. Scientists have found that the toucans beak is designed to be both strong and light. The surface is made of keratin, the same material in human fingernails and hair. But the inside of the bill has a foam-like structure and is made up of a network of light, thin pieces of bone. It contains a lot of air, and some areas are hollow, not solid. This design makes the bill hard but very light. The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer. Studies show that the beaks structure can absorb high energy impacts very well. Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes. Shark Scales and Swimsuits Shark skin may look smooth, but its actually rough. Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth. Viewed up close, the scales actually look like tiny teeth. These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean. They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water. This movement reduces the waters drag on the shark and helps it to swim quickly. Scientists discovered that the shortfin makos scales vary in size and flexibility over its body. For instance the scales on the sides of the body are tapered wide at one end and narrow at the other. They can turn up or flatten to adjust to the flow of water around the shark and to reduce drag. Scientists believe that shark scales can inspire designs for machines that experience drag, such as airplanes. Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms. 21. Why do car body panels copy the design of toucan bill? A. To better protect passers-by. B. To reduce the injury to drivers. C. To decrease the chances of crashes. D. To make cars lighter and easier to control. 22. What product or technology is inspired by shark scales? A. Coating for ship bottoms to run faster. B. Coating for airplanes to experience drag. C. The panel that makes the plane safer. D. Swimwear that is smooth to keep itself clean. 23. Whats the purpose of the text? A. To present two innovative products. B. To introduce biomimetics by example. C. To show the unique adaptations of animals. D. To discuss the link between humans and animals. B The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldnt be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, Id read my class notes out loud with my daughter. Shed respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn. After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfishthat my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids. Over the past year, though, Ive started to let go of some of this worry. Ive realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.” Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but its also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose. 24. How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program? A. It was fruitful but exhausting.B. It was the last thing she would do. C. It was hopeful but challenging.D. It was promising for the whole family. 25. Which can best replace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3? A. Boost.B. Change.C. Create.D. Choose. 26. What could be inferred from Annes words in Paragraph 4? A. People are afraid of having cancer.B. Cancer is health enemy No.1. C. Her mother takes her job seriously.D. Anne is proud of her mother. 27. What might be the best title of the text? A. Onwards and UpwardsB. Double Gains of Mums Pursuit C. Like Mother Like DaughterD. Generation Gap Narrowed by Love C Barton Seaver is a chef and conservationist who wants our help to save the oceans. He believes that our eating choices have a direct impact on the oceans health. In this interview, Seaver discusses how individuals can make a big difference by making informed choices. Q: Should people stop eating seafood? A: There are certain species that have been over fished and that people should definitely avoid. But I dont think we need to stop eating seafood altogether. I believe that we can save the oceans while continuing to enjoy seafood. For example, some types of seafood, come from well-managed fisheries. And others, such as farmed mussels and oysters, actually help to restore declining wild populations and clean up polluted waters. Q: What kind of seafood should people eat? What should they not eat? A: My general advice is to eat fish and shellfish that are lower on the food chain and that can be harvested with little impact on the environment. Some examples include farmed clams and oysters anchovies, sardines, and herring. People should not eat the bigger fish of the sea, like tuna, shark, and swordfish. Otherwise, we will face severe shortages of these species and upset the balance of life in the oceans. Q: Why did you choose to dedicate your life to the ocean? A: I believe that the next great advance in human knowledge will come from learning how we relate to our natural world. I have dedicated myself to helping people understand our place on this planet through the foods that we eat. Q: Why do you believe people should care about the health of the oceans? A: The health of the oceans is directly linked to the health of people. The ocean provides most of the air that we breathe. It has a big effect on the weather. It also provides a necessary and vital diet for billions of people on the planet. So I am indeed trying to save the vital things that we rely on the ocean for. 28. Which statement might Barton Seaver agree with? A. Fish farming is bad for the ocean. B. Fish higher on the food chain should be eaten. C. Overfishing has caused great damage to all species. D. Its OK to eat seafood from well-managed fisheries. 29. Whats Barton Seavers main message in the interview? A. We can understand our planet through the foods we eat. B. We need to protect the ocean because of its supply of food. C. Individuals right food choices can impact the ocean positively. D. People should stop eating seafood to restore the ocean ecosystem. 30. In what TV program will the interview appear? A. Science and Technology.B. Man and Nature. C. Mystery of the Ocean.D. Codes of Best Cuisines. 31. Which words can best describe Barton Seaver? A. Devoted and farseeing.B. Flexible and competitive. C. Brave and risk-taking.D. Ambitious and creative. D On a Sunday afternoon, the sun was burning in eastern Singapore, and a group of young Singaporeans were busy laying out scissors, electric razors, brushes, mirrors, aprons and chairs. They were here to volunteer with the community initiative Backalley Barbers(BAB), which has been snipping away at social barriers since 2014 by offering free haircuts to the discriminated and the poor. Among them is Cai Yinzhou, the young man who heads BAB. He was inspired to take barbering matters into his own hands after befriending a group of migrant workers. “I was playing badminton with a group of workers who lived behind my house. And one of the workers, whose father had a health issue, was working very hard. to try to save money to send back home,” Yinzhou recounts. “Why not learn how to cut my own hair and offer him a free haircut? It was a very small thing that I could do for him. That was how BAB started.” Till now, volunteers have styled more than 2,200 heads, picking up their skills from professionals. “Our volunteers come from various kinds of background,” says Yinzhou. “The common heart is people who are willing to serve. With collective people working towards a common goal, we can change communities. Thats a great starting point.” Beyond the free haircuts, conversations form the root of BABs mission. “We learn about the sacrifices migrant workers have made, the challenges they have at work. And some of them with issues, for example, injuries, or salary claim problems, we refer them to the relevant authorities for help. But the baseline is really making friends with them first,” Yinzhou said. Yinzhou believes these friendships are invaluable, as they foster cultural understanding. “People come together although we are different, realising that we have the potential to help one another.”Yinzhou says. 32. How does the author start the passage? A. By stressing the significance of BABs work. B. By referring to social problems in Singapore. C. By describing the scene of BABs voluntary work. D. By praising young Singaporeans for their kindness. 33. What can we know about BAB in Paragraph 2? A. Its birth.B. Its founder.C. Its goal.D. Its service. 34. What does “a great starting point” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Taking to professional hairdressing. B. Volunteering for a better community. C. Befriending people with different backgrounds. D. Becoming a worldwide non-profit organization. 35. Whats the core factor to push BAB forwards according to Yinzhou? A. Offering free haircuts.B. Solving social problems. C. Holding conversations.D. Forming true friendships. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，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。将相应选项的标号（A、B、C、D、E）涂在答题卡上。 In 2010, a huge earthquake hit Haiti, causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand people and millions of dollars worth of damage. 36 On this occasion, funds were raised with amazing speed-within a week of the quake, the American Red Cross had raised $22 million. The reason? People were donating via their mobile phones. 37 Gone are the days when people donated door by door. In todays world of computers, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, charities can now reach more people than ever before. Social media in particular has had a great impact on charity. 38 This enables charities to raise money extremely quickly, as in Haiti. And the quicker aid can be delivered, the more lives can be saved. Individual fundraising has also benefited. Most people are now so well-connected through sites like Facebook that asking people to contribute to your chosen cause is easier than ever. New, innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time. For example, if you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time, you can use an app called Charity Miles. 39 For every kilometer you cover, the apps sponsors will make a donation to a charity of your choice. Theres also Snapdonate, which allows users to donate simply by taking a photo of a charitys logo with their smartphone. The app recognizes the logo and allows users to immediately make a donation th
