9、CIts light weight.DIts portable feature.Many artists draw with pens and brushes, but few “paint”with knives. Wang Jing, a woman from Shenyang city in northeast Chinas Liaoning Province, has been engaged in this novel art form for 27 years.In 1995, Wang was inspired by an accidental cut by a knife on
10、 a piece of red paper, which left a white line, and believed that she may have created something out of the ordinary. Using knives and paper, she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.Unlike traditional paintings,onto which
11、colors are “added”, “knife painting”uses blades to take away colors on specially made coated paper. “Knife painters”apply varied pressure on the paper in different directions to create different colors and tones.“Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thi
12、n as a hair,” said Wang, adding that once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it. Even Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at t
13、he beginning. But thanks to her huge enthusiasm for the art form, she has persisted with it for the past 27 years. So far, she has completed hundreds of paintings about auspicious Chinese culture, figures, landscape, flowers and birds, of which her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting that depicts
14、20 lifelike egrets. Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.4What powers Wang in her 27-year devotion to knife painting?AThe accidental cut.BThe white line.CThe painting of peacocks.DThe red paper.5What can be learned about knife painting from paragraph 3?

The corn ear-worm is consider
17、ed to be among the most common farm pests in the US, damaging crops such as maize, cotton, soya and other vegetables. It spends winter underground and is not known to survive in states beyond a latitude of 40 degrees north, but that is changing as soils warm and it spreads to new areas, according to
18、 research led by north Carolina State University.Researchers created maps that showed three distinct geographical zones across the US the “southern range” where corn ear worms survive winter, a “transitional zone” where they may survive winter, and “northern limits”, where they are generally unable
19、to survive winter because soil temperatures drop below freezing.Researchers already knew that warmer winter soils meant insects that live in the soil are more likely to survive. “As the climate changes, the overwintering zones are likely to shift northward,” said the coauthor Anders Huseth, an entom
20、ologist at North Carolina State University. The southern range has grown by 3% since 1981 and is predicted to double in size by the end of the century,as the other zones get smaller, according to the report.This could result in increased use of pesticides and lower yields. “If intensive maize produc
21、tion does not also shift north with changing climate, we expect that corn ear worm will become a more frequent and important problem in these states,” said Dr. Douglas Lawton, a co-author of the report.“Organic growers have a major challenge controlling this pest and often accept significant crop lo
22、sses when infestations are high,” he said. Monitoring soil temperatures could help predict the spread of pests, helping farmers control them more effectively, the report suggests.Huseth said: “Wed like to come up with a letter forecasting tool for this pest, along with a risk-prediction model, in or
23、der to better inform growers of pest spread. Success here could reduce both costs for farmers and pesticide into the environment.”8Why does the author mention the corn ear worm in paragraph 1?ATo show they are harmful.BTo explain why they are changing.CTo echo the findings of a new research.DTo comp
24、lain the change of the climate.9What can we learn about southern range?AIt will double in size in the future.BIt has increased to 3% since 1981.CIt is likely to advance southwards.DIt is larger than other zones.10What effect would “monitoring soil temperatures” have on growers?APredictable.BBenefici

26、ost endangered animals, is likely to continue roaming in the wild of Kenya for longer due to intensified efforts to protect it from extinction.Following 18 years of conservation efforts, staff members from the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy reached a milestone this yearthe first baby mountain bong
27、o born in the wild. One of the worlds most unique animals,the mountain bongo is the largest, heaviest and most colorful of the forest antelopes in Africa. Endemic to equatorial forests and only found in Kenyas wild, this species has seen a dramatic decline in numbers in the last few decades from an
28、estimated population of 25,000 to less than 100, according to a recent wildlife census in Kenya. Before the beginning of this decline in the 1960s, these critically endangered animals once roamed freely in Kenyas high-altitude forests of the Aberdares, Mount Elgon and Mount Kenya. Its population dec
29、line was primarily human-driven.To reverse the decline, the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy has geared up efforts in partnership with the Kenyan government to save the mountain bongo from extinction through a breeding and rewinding program. Robert Aruho, head of Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy,sai
30、d its aim is to restore Kenyas heritage species.“As we speak, the mountain bongo antelope has suffered massive decline and we are left with less than 100 of the species in the wild. What makes this animal special is that it is only found in the wild in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore me
31、ans its decline in the world,” said Aruho, adding that the animal is believed to be extinct in most of its natural habitats.“Our program has taken the animals through a series of adaptation measures to enable them to acclimatize to life in the wild as opposed to zoos. This involved getting used to l
32、ocal food and adapting to local parasites and diseases. This has enabled them to breed and produce offspring that are indigenous to this environment.”With the first phase of adaptation being complete, the conservancy will move to the second phase which entails introducing the antelopes to the wild.1
33、2What does the underlined word“roaming”in paragraph 1 mean?ADeclining.BWandering.CStruggling.DDecreasing.13What can be learned about the mountain bongo antelope?AIt can be only found in the wild in Kenya.BIt is unique to the subtropical rainforest.CThe decline of its population was caused by climate
