Most are also equipped with automatic fire alarm systems co

12、nsisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with(胡乱摆弄) these systems.

How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering t

20、hese questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas.

21、 Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking 3some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking

22、in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all

23、 admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet“ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the b

24、ird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time“ and “destination“ are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see wh

25、ats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. “Oh, a few birds,“ they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and y

26、ou will open a new dimension to your life.25.

What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?

The bird watchers behavior shows that they _.A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birdsD. que

28、stion the accuracy of the field guides28. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isnt attractive to them.B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the dest

29、ination.CI have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St, Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an un- controllable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird st

30、uck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Floridas mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.Im like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide

31、of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display

32、of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but cant create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I havent seen in months. What could b

33、e better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a re

34、tirement community in Ridge, and Im grateful that I dont have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you cant go home?29. Whats the difference between Florida and Long Island?4A. Winters in Florida are milder.B. T

35、he snowbirds in Florida are rarer.C. Weather in Florida is severer.D. Florida is nearer to the ocean.30. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Unwillingness.B. Expectation.C. Coincidence.D. Motivation.31. Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Imagin

36、ative and outspoken.B. Hard-working and serious.C. Homesick and easy-goingD. Anxious and painful.32. Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To describe his dream to be a free bird.B. To express his feeling of missing his hometown.C. To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.D. To exp

37、lain the reasons for moving from his hometown.DPlastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. qSo far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study sugge

38、sts an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and t

39、he worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass-a

40、pparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax-also allows them to break down plastic “Wax is a complex mixture, but th

41、e basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, “she explains. “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. “Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can bre

42、ak down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her

43、 teams findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”33. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as thei

44、r everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.34. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase t

45、he breakdown speed35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future第二节(共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)5根据短文内容，从短文中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。How to Keep a Relationship
