I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity，I have no idea what I’m doing，but I am very happy to be here.Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018.The assignment was easy and hard—make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept，but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds)．So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔)，commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world，it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed，they never let go of the carbon they gathered.Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as I had no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree，swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video，but didn’t dare to write in the description section of the video that it was a submission，because I never imagined that I could win!But I did.I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search，and when the news came out，I received the most attention I’ve had in my entire life.No matter your background，whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam，I really hope you enjoy the video!1．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 1?A．She is uncertain about the result.     B．She gets used to telling people lies.C．She is unable to achieve the goal.     D．She knows much about the ending.2．Which of the following is NOT true about sphagnum?A．It can form its carbon storage in a very slow way.B．It is universally recognized as an unknown climate hero.C．It won’t release the carbon without being disturbed.D．It contains a large amount of carbon.3．The underlined word “scrawniest” in Paragraph 4 probably means “        ”．A．weakest    B．strongest    C．shortest   D．most energetic4．What can we learn from the author’s story?A．She shows great interest in filming the video.B．Her knowledge helps overcome all the difficulties.C．Her attitude and hard work pay off eventually.D．She is more than delighted to gain the most attention.BTiny as they are，bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation(回声定位法)．They make noises and wait for sound waves，or an echo，to bounce back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back，they can then fly forward.This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time，such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are，what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? American Daniel Kish，who is blind，is known as “Batman”．This isn’t because he walks around in a cape(披风)and a mask，but because he has a bat­like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.Recently，a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish，as well as other volunteers，worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes，ones far fainter than had been previously thought.Lore Thaler，lead scientist of the group，said，“We found that in some conditions，they were really faint—about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks，but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”Andrew Kolarik，another expert in echolocation，told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog”．According to BBC News，echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop，just like learning a language. As Kolarik said，“Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”5．What does “this special ability” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The ability to make noises in the dark.  B．The ability to bounce back off objects.C．The ability to measure the distance quickly.  D．The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.6．What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text?A．He is fond of riding a bike and hiking alone.B．He is called “Batman” because he looks like a bat.C．He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks.D．He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.7．What is Kolarik’s attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people?A．Doubtful.     B．Ambiguous.     C．Tolerant.     D．Hopeful.8．What’s the best title for the text?A．Echolocation in Human World       B．Finding a New Way to “See”C．A Very Special Batman             D．A Breakthrough in Echoing第二节　(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Being eco­conscious(生态意识) doesn’t have to stress you out or expand your budget. Learn how to be kind to the Earth while also enjoying life. Here are some small but significant steps you can take.Go LED with your lighting. There are several benefits of switching to energy­saving light bulbs(灯泡)．  9   Though the upfront cost might be more than traditional bulbs，the average savings on LED bulbs is $ 75 a year. Plus，you won’t be spending nearly as much time changing burnt­out bulbs as you used to: LED bulbs can last years or even decades，depending on the type you buy.  10   On those days when you’re out of patience and low on time，don’t blame yourself if you have to use paper plates and cups instead of your dishwasher，especially if you’re hosting a large crowd. After all，Americans waste too much of water every year. Generally，dishwashers are required to design to use no more than 5 gallons of water per cycle and 307 kwh/year.  11   So in this point，using recyclable paper plates can save more.Turn off water when you are not using it. Every drop does count when it comes to water usage.  12   Don’t ignore this little time. If everyone does in this way，we can save a lot of water every day. There is also great low­flow equipment for showers and toilets. But if you don’t want to change them，you can just switch them off when you’re not using them.  13  .A．Don’t always use paper plates.B．One of them is saving money.C．This is a good way to save water.D．Don’t feel guilty about using paper plates.E．Besides，a good dishwasher can save more electricity.F．That includes the two minutes you spend brushing your teeth.G．That’s still quite a lot of water and energy to use every day.第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分50.5分)第一节　(共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The squirrel，Bella，had a rough start to life.At the age of four weeks old，an owl(猫头鹰)   14   and badly wounded her.Bella stood no   15   of surviving her wounds in the wild.  16  ，Ruby Harrison took her home.Ruby not only gave Bella a home，but a   17   with three other adopted squirrels.They grew strong，but Ruby didn’t domesticate(驯养) any of the squirrels.“They are part of the  18   rather than a pet，” she said.It was time to say goodbye in April 2009.Ruby saw them   19   into the trees and never expected to see them often.Then，initially，the other three came back for a   20   once and stopped coming by，but Bella was   21  .She seemed to have a strong   22   with the Harrisons that kept her visiting almost daily.In the past ten years since her release，it’s not just Ruby herself who gets Bella’s   23  .“Bella sits right at the front door to look in for someone’s   24  ，” Ruby described.“My husband rushes out of the door to be   25   and happily runs back inside to the big bowl of nuts for her.”More amazingly，this spring came with a(n)   26  .Bella came round again with her   27   family，with her three babies   28   someone to notice.14．A.approachedB．attackedC．followedD．advanced15．A.riskB．testC．chanceD．use16．A.SuddenlyB．ClearlyC．StrangelyD．Luckily17．A.familyB．seriesC．hospitalD．location18．A.parkB．wildC．yardD．earth19．A.lookB．breakC．escapeD．disappear20．A.treatB．pityC．praiseD．rest21．A.normalB．traditionalC．differentD．extraordinary22．A.tasteB．connectionC．touchD．smell23．A.sightB．reachC．companyD．observation24．A.attentionB．permissionC．respectD．interest25．A.foundB．greetedC．passedD．lifted26．A.surpriseB．eventC．groupD．story27．A.amusingB．invitedC．interestingD．extended28．A.afraid ofB．forcingC．waiting forD．applying for 第二节 单项选择（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。29. — Can I look at the menu before I make an order?— Of course. ___________, madam.A.
