Animal rescuer and cinematographer Douglas Thorn’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. “I started rescuing orphaned baby animals,” Thorn says. “And I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer.”

When Thron grew up, he did just that, working for shows like Discovery Channels Shark Week, filming the great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. But Thron says it was the Paradise Fire in California in 2018 that “pushed” him to do animal rescue activism work, putting his aerial cinematography skills to good use.

At the time, Thron was filming a man who was rescuing cats after the fire using an infrared hand-held camera. The camera uses heat to detect the animals at night Thron and the man talked about how incredible it would be to put one on a drone to detect animals more easily. “The animal's body temperature will glow on the screen and you can pick them out among the bricks and stones,” explains Thron.

The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog in the Bahamas after a category-5 hurricane hit, which wiped out hundreds of houses. Thron tested out putting an infrared scope on a drone and found the dog.

“The drone really shaves off critical time so that the really badly hurt animals are able to be rescued,” Thron says. Once the scope picks up the “heat signature of an animal”, Thron turns a spotlight on the animal and zooms in on it, so he and the rescue crews can go and save the animal.

Thron has basically been “going non-stop since then”. His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heart-warming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana in 2020 and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia in 2020.

4. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Researching rare animals. B. Rescuing homeless animals.

C. Becoming a disaster rescuer. D. Working as a wildlife cinematographer.

5. What's Thron's purpose for attaching the infrared camera to the drone?

A. To locate an animal quickly. B. To shoot more inviting photos.

C. To take animals' body temperature. D. To give warnings of dangers timely.

6. What's the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. The difficulties Thron has to overcome.

B. The skills Thron will need to operate the drone.

C. The way Thron uses the drone to rescue animals.

D. The reason why Thron chooses his present job.

7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Thron?

A. Modest. B. Creative. C. Generous. D. Outgoing.

C

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. To see the farther clearly, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses, or undergoing the more invasive refractive surgery (屈光手术).

But Japan’s Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can cure myopia. It projects an image onto the wearers’ retina (视网膜) to correct the refractive error that causes nearsightedness. Obviously, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.

So how does the technology developed by Kubota work exactly? Well, according to a company press release from December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro-LEDS to project virtual images on the visual field to make the retina active. Apparently, it can do that without affecting the wearer’s daily activities.

Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glasses, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device. And how much the ugly-looking glasses have to be worn for the correction to be permanent.

Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings began testing the glasses in the summer of last year, and is currently conducting tests on about 25 people in the U.S to assess the effectiveness of its smart glasses. The company plans to begin selling the device in Asia in the second half of 2021, where there are more nearsighted people, but it has plans to enter other markets in the future.

8. What does the underlined word “blurry” mean in the first paragraph?

A. Familiar B. Different C. Impressive D. Unclear

9. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The effect of wearing the smart glasses. B. The disadvantages of the smart glasses.

C. The working principle of the smart glasses. D. The correct way of wearing the smart glasses.

10. Why does the company decide to sell the glasses first in Asia?

A. It wants to serve the Asians better. B. These glasses are more suitable for Asians.

C. Scientific development is slower in Asia. D. There is more market demand in Asia.

11. What is the purpose of writing the text?

A. To solve a problem. B. To introduce a new product.

C. Too present a research result. D. To give practical advice.

D

Scientists know quite a lot about stars. After centuries of pointing telescopes at the night sky, astronomers and amateurs alike can figure out key traits of any star, such as its mass or its composition.

To calculate a star’s mass, just look at the time it takes to orbit a companion star. Then do a bit of calculation. To determine what it’s made of, look to the spectrum of light the star sends out. But one question scientists haven’t quite cracked yet is how to calculate the exact time of a star.

“The sun is the only star we know the age of,” says astronomer David Soderblom. He works at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. We use what we know about it and how it compares to others, he says, to figure out the age of other stars.

Even well-studied stars surprise scientists every now and then. In 2019, the red supergiant Betelgeuse became gradually dark. At the time, astronomers weren’t sure if this star was just going through a phase. The alternative was more exciting: It might be ready to explode as a supernova. (Turns out it was just a phase.) The sun also shook things up when scientists noticed that it wasn’t behaving like other middle-aged stars. It’s not as magnetically active as other stars of its age and mass. That suggests astronomers still might not fully understand the timeline of middle age.

Using physics and indirect measurements, scientists can make a rough estimate of a star’s age. Some methods, it turns out, work better for different types of stars.

Why do we even care? Galaxies are huge collections of stars of different ages. Star ages might help us figure out how such galaxies grow and evolve or how planets within them form. Knowing star ages might even assist in the search for life in other solar systems.

12. What may scientists want to research about stars most now?

A. Their companions. B. Their types.

C. Their ages. D. Their characteristics.

13. What does the underlined word “cracked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Discussed. B. Described. C. Touched. D. Solved.

14. Why is the example in 2019 mentioned?

A. To show scientists still have puzzles about stars.

B. To prove scientists have studied stars to the full.

C. To provide facts for scientists’ researches on stars.

D. To warn scientists to notice some surprising stars.

15. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. The reasons for caring about the space. B. The significance of researching star ages.

C. The ways of measuring a star’s age. D. The benefits of figuring out solar systems.

    阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock?” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!

Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”

I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.

I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.

It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!

I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”
