8、 her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her
9、 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog.She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family,she sent a wind chime(风铃)with the messag
10、e“Listen to the wind and know that I am near”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-olds bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action

16、oo ready to give away her birthday gifts.Beavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as natures engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow waters flow while blocking sediment(沉
17、积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist w
18、ith beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beave
19、rs to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle” a pond leveler.Beavers often rush
20、to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event putting wire cloth around l
21、arge tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we dont want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earths resou

The balancing act continues.8What is the first paragraph mainly about?AWhere beavers favorite surroundings are.BWhat effects beavers have on their habitat.CWhy beaver
23、s are called natures engineers.DHow beavers help attract wildlife diversity.9Why did the beaver familys activity cause concern?ASwallow Pond would flood often.BSediment would flow downstream.CThe popular path might be damaged.DBeavers might have to live underwater.10What do the underlined words“beav

25、eservation of wildlife habitat.Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didnt survive long on artificial surfaces.
26、 Researchers have now moved them to a living surface a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generat
27、e electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.The researchers needed to bring a lot of these
28、 bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jacksons team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply wen
29、t to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventua
30、lly, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at co
31、nducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.Then it was time to shine.“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and create
32、d an electric current.12What was the problem in previous research?ACyanobacteria didnt produce electrons.BCyanobacteria couldnt get enough light.CThe researchers chose the wrong bacteria.DNo suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.13Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?AThey are conve
33、nient to find.BThey can produce electric currents.CThey are where bacteria can naturally grow.DThey can be easily combined with 3D printing.14What is the major function of the black ink in this test?ATo feed bacteria.BTo deliver electrons.CTo produce electricity.DTo reshape mushroom tops.15Which of
34、the following is a suitable title for the text?AWho are the real heroes?BNew application of 3D printingCNature combined with electronsDBionic mushroom makes electricity二、七选五Home gardens produce delicious food.But thats not their main virtue.Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appe
35、arance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. _16_The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely
36、without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethovens Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape._17_Other people, however, believe gardening
37、 a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals? _18_They mistake the product for the purpose.Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may pla
38、nt the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad._19_ No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhi
39、le is in the work itself.A gardeners memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt._20_ANo one can ever avoid this hard stage.BSo why dont we start home gardening for delicious food?CThis might explain why many people desire a home garden.DThese peo
40、ple misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.EBy the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.FTo garden is to patiently and lovingly help life grow, in the ground and above it.GAnd even expert gardeners can lose a seasons harvest to uncooperative weather.三、完形填空At scho

Recently, I found a contemporary artist called Martin Bailey. Ive _31_ seen artists who combine different techniques, but Bai
44、ley is totally different. He does unique illustrations with _32_ household objects such as umbrellas, headphones and even cookies. His art is simple, but it makes you see things _33_. For example, he notices that a flower is similar to a mop(拖把) and puts this _34_into life by drawing a little man wi

I hope Ill be able to go to an exhibition of his work in the future.21AdealBstartCstruggleDexperiment22AdisappointingBchallengingCexcitingDinteresting23AnoisyBcarelessCattentiveDcreative24AannoyedBboredClostDworried25AweakBsensitiveCstressedDtired26AlackBtheme
