Baggy has become the first dog in the UK-and might be the world-to join the fight against air pollution by recording the pollution levels (水平) near the ground.

Baggy wears a pollution monitor (监视器) around her neck. It is different from the normal pollution monitors fixed on lampposts (路灯柱) at about 3 meters high, so she can record pollution levels close to the ground.

This idea comes from Baggy’s 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. Since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair (婴儿车), her monitor shows a different result. The pollution levels are much higher than those recorded by the Environment Agency at higher places in the air. Tom has reported the shocking findings to the government in order to warn that babies are at higher risk of having asthma (哮喘).

Matt Hunt said he was very proud of his son because when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it until he finally makes it. And he really wants to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma.

“Tom were interested in environmental protection at a very early age as well as gadgets (小装置) making.” Matt added.“About one year ago, he got this new place of technology. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, ‘why don’t we put it around Baggy’s neck and let her monitor the pollution?’ So we did it.”

Tom said “Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time, she is a super dog, and we all really take pride in her.”

6．With a monitor around her neck, Baggy can ________.

A．lower air pollution B．record pollution levels C．process pollution information

7．What can we learn from the Baggy’s recording?

A．High places hardly have air pollution.

B．The air near the ground is more polluted.

C．The normal monitors are more dependable.

8．The underlined phrase gets on with in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．continues working on B．comes up with C．is good with

9．Which of the following can best describe Tom Hunt?

A．Smart and outgoing B．Helpful and creative C．Talented and brave

10．What can be the best title of the text?

A．Air pollution worries many parents.

B．A boy and his dog make a difference.

C．High-tech products spread in the UK.

    Every day people get on trains, planes and prepare to take risks. But what about the deep sea? Covering about 70 percent of the earth’s surface, there is still much to be discovered about the biggest unknown part of the world. The underwater world is such an amazing place. Have you ever wanted to have a try?

From tourist submarines (潜艇) to underwater restaurants, undersea tourism is catching people’s eyes. Submarine tours have been on in more than 20 places in South America and Europe. The submarines receive nearly 2 million tourists each year and the number is still growing. Passengers can see the colorful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and sunken (下沉的) ships through the big windows of them. Now there has been a move to connect art with the underwater tourism. Passengers who love art can also watch amazing art works in underwater museums like the Australia’s Museum of Underwater Art.

For a more fantastic experience, tourists can enjoy nice food under the sea. In 2016, the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa opened the world’s first underwater restaurant, Ithaa. Sitting in the restaurant, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean. But it isn’t cheap. The dinner costs about $400 per person. Be sure to book it early. Because the restaurant has only 14 seats.

Undersea tourism has also brought more attention to the importance of protecting oceans and the animal life that calls them home. British artist Jason Taylor, whose artwork can be seen in a lot of underwater tourist places around the world, feels this is key.“Most people just see the surface of the ocean and it is hard to imagine that things underwater are so easy to be hurt. We don’t consider our oceans as important as our lives and we should.”

11．What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

A．the submarines B．the sunken ships C．the underwater museums

12．In Paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?

A．People can not try submarine tours in Asia present.

B．Tourists are becoming less interested in submarine-tours.

C．Art lovers will have the chance to enjoy the artworks underwater.

13．As for the restaurant Ithaa, the writer introduces ________.

a. what it is made of  b. how much you will pay for

c. how many seats there are  d. what the special food is

A．ab B．bc C．cd

14．According to Jason Taylor, what is the most important thing behind underwater tourism?

A．Thinking more about people’s daily life.

B．Enjoying art works in many tourist places.

C．Offering protection to oceans and the animal life.

15．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构)of the passage?

A．①//②③④ B．①②//③//④ C．①//②③//④

三、阅读回答问题

    阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

“Don’t ever underestimate(低估) the heart of a champion(冠军).”

American basketball coach Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous saying has turned out to be true once again.

Ma Long, the team leader of the Chinese men’s table tennis team, won his second Olympic gold medal(金牌) in men’s singles(单打比赛) in the Tokyo Olympics after beating his teammate Fan Zhendong—an achievement that no male(男性的) player has ever made before. After the win, Ma put two arms overhead and made a “heart” toward the crowds. He later explained as a move for his family and the team. Also, this showed the heart of a champion.

Already the World Championships(锦标赛) and the World Cup winner, Ma achieved his Grand Slam(大满贯) after winning the Rio 2016 Olympic gold medal. The 32-year-old is also a champion of many international events. But Ma’s road back to success is never easy.

After getting his Grand Slam, Ma decided to have surgery(手术) on his left knee to be fully fit for the Tokyo Olympics. Before the surgery, Ma cut his hair very short as he wanted to start all over again.

Back from his surgery, Ma didn’t win any singles over a year. Many people wondered it he was fully prepared for the Olympics. As there were no matches during COVID-19, it was difficult for players to pay all the attention on training. They also don’t have enough chances to improve through the matches. But hard work finally paid off for Ma. With five gold medals, Ma has become the table tennis player who won the most medals in Olympic history.

21．Is Ma Long the first table tennis player to win two Olympic gold medals in men’s single?
