16、nrod is one of the most successful and widespread alien plant species. It is often referred to as “the flower of the devil”, as it spreads extremely fast and causes other plants to die.Besides Hubei province, the plant has also been found expanding in other provinces such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Al
17、though local authorities have tried to get rid of the plant, it is proving to be a difficult task. Goldenrod represents just one of the alien species that are aggressive towards the countrys native species. Statistics show that by 2020, nearly 800 kinds of alien species had invaded the country, amon
18、g which 638 species have invaded the countrys agricultural and forestry ecosystems, causing direct economic losses of about 200 billion yuan ($31.36 billion).At the United Nations Biodiversity Conference held in Kunming, Yunnan province, the invasion of alien species was the subject of discussions,
19、as it was regarded as one of the two most important factors leading to the loss of biodiversity, the other being human-caused ecological damage.China passed its Biosecurity Law on April 15, 2021, which provides the legal basis for preventing the invasion of alien species and protecting biodiversity
20、in the country. The relevant departments also strictly carry out port inspections and quarantines so as to keep harmful organisms out of the country, and they strengthen early warning and monitoring systems so as to address the invasion as early as possible.However, while government departments are
21、making every effort to prevent and control the situation, the participation of the people should not be ignored. It is also necessary, as Wuhan is doing, to encourage people to pay attention to invasive species and actively play a role in keeping them at bay. Preventing any invasion by an alien spec
22、ies and protecting biodiversity should not just be the government departments fighting alone, but also a peoples war.8What can we learn about goldenrod from the text?AIt originates in Wuhan.BIt does harm to peoples health.CIt is a great threat to the surrounding plants.DIt causes an economic loss of
23、 about $31.36 billion.9What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?AChinas efforts to stop the invasion of alien species.BRelevant departments warning of goldenrod.CThe legal basis to protect biodiversity.DThe importance of port inspections and quarantines.10What do the underlined words “keeping them at bay” m

25、se that human beings are not alone in having invented vaccination. Work just published in the Journal of Experimental Biology by Gyan Harwood of the University of Illinois confirms that honeybees got there first.Being social insects, honeybees are at a constant risk of diseases sweeping through thei
26、r living places the beehives. Most animals which live in crowded conditions have particularly strong immune systems, so it long puzzled insect experts that honeybees do not.Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by passing into them, before they are laid, lit
27、tle bits of proteins from disease-causing virus. These will activate the development of a protective immune response in the developing young. But that observation raises the question of how the queen receives her antigen supply in the first place.To find it out, Gyan Harwood teamed up with a group l
28、ed by Heli Salmela. Together, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini beehives equipped with groups of baby bees to look after. They fed the nurses on sugar-water, and for three of the beehives they mixed the sugar-water with P. larvae, a virus that causes a dea
29、dly disease.In this case, to stop such an infection happening, Dr. Harwood and Dr. Salmela heat-treated and so killed the virus in advance. And, sure enough, its confirmed that some bits of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly produced by those bees which had been fed with the mixed sugar-water.
30、Moreover, examination of this royal jelly revealed increased levels, compared with royal jelly from bees that had not been fed with P. larvae, of defensin-1, which is thought to help bee immune systems defend the bees from virus infections.These findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, via their
31、 royal jelly, passing antigens on to the queen for vaccination into her eggs. They also mean, because baby bees, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they hatch, that the nurses are vaccinating as well. It seems protective.12What has long puzzled insect experts concerning honeybees?
32、AThey live in crowded conditions.BThey do not have strong immune system.CThey are social insects.DThey do not get swept by diseases.13When does the queen transfer the antigen to the young bees?AAfter they hatch.BBefore the eggs are laid.CWhen they are growing up.DBefore her immune system is activate

Across the globe, cultural heritage (遗产) is passed down through the generations. Yet we fight a never ending and very expensive war to preserve it for the fu
35、ture. And today, it is under attack as never before. Technology is often seen as something that destroys the past. _16_ .Creating copies via 2D images is extremely laborious and time-consuming. AI technologies are being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing lots of images to be cross-refere
36、nced and stored in a matter of hours. _17_. AI will also makerestoration and preservation of existingcultural heritage far easier and vastly superior to previous methods.Airborne technology (机载技术) is being increasingly used in the fight to preserve our cultural heritage. _18_. LiDAR (Light Detection

Drones (无人机) are also being used to excellent effect, documenting and monitoring huge areas and removing the need for all t

Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. _19_, VR technology will gradually become the way that people experien

42、food. Several days later, a tuber (块茎) left in the kitchen was sprouting (发芽). Thinking it was a waste of money to throw it away, I_21_ the tuber into a pot hoping it might take root and _22_ something that could be put on the dinner table._23_, the tuber did take root and began to grow. In the foll

I pulled out the plant, which took some_26_ and began to dig with my fingers to see if there was any tuber in the pot. When my fingers could almost

In _29_, I pushed the pot over and found the root was outside the pot! It had grown through one of the hole
45、s in the bottom.Then and there I changed my opinion of this plant, for the seemingly soft plant gained the_30_ of me. Very carefully I _31_ all the soil out of the pot, _32_ the root might be harmed or broken. Holding the root, I was deep in thought. The root outside the pot looked like a _33_ and s

The end of the root was dark grey and _35_ Obviously, the peel (皮) must have been removed during its struggle with the _36_ of the heavy pot. It struck me that the tuber, though seriously _37_, had struggled hard and it seemed it
