It was close to the historic Abbot Kinney. However, there was a bus de
2、pot (公共汽车停车场) across the street. Hundreds of buses noisily parked there every night and noisily left every morning. It was awful. But I was determined to make the best of it. It is noisy, but it offers us a good way to think about what is required to make a city work, I kept telling our 6-year-old d
3、aughter. Then one morning, I woke up to find that the buses were gone! I allowed myself to get excited. My daughter, however, was unhappy. It took me a minute to understand: she had got used to the idea of us having a role in city life. Shortly afterwards, a homeless encampment (临时营地) was built ther
4、e. Then I found out what was planned for the bus depota place to deal with the homeless. When I told my daughter about the bridge housing, a big smile spread across her face. Her first reaction wasnt fear or selfishness. She understood instantly how special it was that the bus depot would become a p
5、lace for people who needed just that to live. What story about city life could I tell her then? I tried to keep fruit in the car so that at traffic lights, we could hand out a banana or an apple. When a woman put up a tent on the sidewalk in front of our stairs, I filled all her water bottles. Now w
6、e have a couple hundred new neighbours, and Ill be telling anyone who will listen what an honour it is to live among the homeless. Without my daughter, I might not have come to the same conclusion.1.What was the drawback of the authors new house at the beginning?A.It was too small for family use.B.T
7、here was too much noise around.C.It was too close to a tourist attraction.D.There were too many neighbours around.2.Why was the authors daughter unhappy when she found the buses were gone?A.She thought she lost the role in city life.B.She didnt like the idea of bridge housing.C.She had been used to

9、 on how the plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastics in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowned in plastics. Though it seem
10、s that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade when plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still c
11、atching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science. We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. The ocean plastic is estimated to kill millio
12、ns of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastics in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics
13、on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent. And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see the ocean plastic as a disaster, worth being mention
14、ed in the same breath as climate change. But the ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers(否认者), atleast so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system. This is not a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We
15、know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag, but when taken collectively, these choices reall
16、y do make a difference.1. Why is plastic pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up with.D. The world couldnt possibly functio

By listing examples from his own experience.D. By presenting solid statistics.3. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
18、?A. We reap what we sow.B. The shortest answer is doing.C. All things are difficult before they are easy.D. Actions speak louder than words.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The oceans become choked with plastics.B. The ocean plastic is a global issue.C. The Blue Planet Has left viewers hea
19、rtbroken.D. Plastics gain popularity all over the world.C When the natural climate changes due to global warming, it can surely affect seals. The majority of them live in the Antarctic region so as the ice is melting, their natural habitat can be seriously affected. These changes dont take place ove
20、rnight. They can be the result of many years of additional temperatures in the area. The seals then have to find ways to adapt. Seals depend on the cool air currents to bring plenty of food for them. When the temperatures get higher, there is less and less food and the seal population starts to shri
21、nk. Mothers arent healthy enough to feed their babies. Many of them end up abandoned as the mothers have to leave to find their own source of food. The fact that their desire to produce young can be changed by the warmer temperatures is frightening too. It is also believed that the warmer temperatur
22、es can allow different diseases and viruses to attack the seals. This is a huge concern as they can rapidly wipe out huge numbers of seals out there. However, these changes in climate and temperature arent all bad for other species of seals. Scientists have found that those living in warmer climates
23、 are producing more young due to the changes. Research also shows that the females are moving further to find food and water. When they are out of the reach of the governing males, they are more willing to accept the moves of other males in the group. This is good news too because it means that ther
24、e will be more selection in the gene pool(基因库) for future generations. It can help the seals as a species adapt to change in their natural environment more easily. The climate change problem for seals is directly linked to humans. When we take action to change what we let out into the environment, w
25、e will make positive changes for the seals. However, it is going to take a very long time to reverse(彻底改变) the effects of what has already been done.1. What does the author regard climate changes for seals as?A. A double-edged sword.B. An unavoidable disaster for existence.C. A mirror of evolution.D
26、. A requirement for more choices in the gene pool.2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. How global warming affects the seals.B. What seals feed their babies with.C. Why the seal population grows.D. Where the seals find their food.3. What will happen to the seals in warmer climates?A. Their
27、 number will be on the increase.B. The female seals will be in the lead.C. Their genes will change a great deal.D. The females will keep away from the males.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Importance of Protecting SealsB. Seals Adaptation to Climate ChangeC. How C
28、limate Change Affects SealsD. Why Are Seals Becoming Less and LessD Chocolate could soon be a thing of the past after scientists warning that the cacao plant, from which chocolate is made, could be extinct within 32 years. Over half of the worlds chocolate comes from just two countries in West Afric
29、aCte dIvoire and Ghanawhere the temperature, rain, and humidity provide the perfect conditions for cacao to grow. But rising temperatures over the next three decades caused by climate change are expected to result in a loss of water from the ground, which scientists say could upset this balance. Acc
30、ording to the related data, a temperature rise of just 2.1 could spell an end for the chocolate industry worldwide by 2050. Farmers in the region are already considering moving cacao production areas thousands of feet uphill into mountainous areasmany of which are currently preserved for wildlife. B
31、ut a move of this scale could destroy the ecosystems that are already under threat from illegal farming and deforestation. One of the problems, according to Doug Hawkins, is that cacao farming methods have not changed for hundreds of years. Unlike other tree crops that have benefited from the develo
32、pment of modern, high yielding strains and crop management techniques to realize their genetic potential, more than 90% of the global cacao crop is produced by small farms with unimproved planting materials, he said. It means that we could be facing a chocolate decrease of 100,000 tons a year in the
33、 next few years. Now scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have teamed up with American candy company Mars to keep chocolate on the menu. Using the controversial (有争议的) gene-editing technology known as CRISPR they are trying to develop a type of cacao plant capable of surviving in dry
34、er, warmer climates. If the teams work on the cacao plant is successful, it could remove the need for farmers in West Africa to relocate to higher ground, and perhaps even allow cacao to be grown elsewhere in the world.1.What do we know about chocolate from the text?A. Chocolate will disappear from
35、the menu 30 years later.B. Chocolate is mainly produced by African countries.C. Chocolate will not be produced by 2050 because of climate change.D. A new type of chocolate will be produced with the help of CRISPR.2.What is the reason for the probable extinction of the cacao plant?A. The damaged ecos
36、ystems.B. Water shortage caused by climate change.C. The threat from illegal farming and deforestation.D. The changeable farming method.3.What is the writers attitude to the application of CRISPR to develop a new type of cacao plant?A. Objective.B. Unconcerned.C. Supportive.D. Negative.4.Where does
