Welcome to Science on Sundays
Science on Sundays is a programme of free monthly science talks which always brings the latest discoveries in plant science, as well as research linked to the plant collection at the Botanic Garden, to the visitors in a 30-minute short period of time. The programme in April is about tulips(郁金香).
Introduction
Time: 2:30 pm on Sundays
Title: In Search of Wild Tulips
Objects: adults and children aged 12+
Speaker: Brett Wilson at University of Cambridge
Background Information
The planted tulips are a common sight in spring gardens around the world, but have you ever considered where wild tulips grow? The wild ancestors of our much-loved gardening varieties can mostly be found in the mountains and valleys of Central Asia, far from the Nether-lands, where most tulips are grown and bred. At the Botanic Garden, we have a National Tulip Collection where we grow many wild species including plenty of species from Central Asia. Over the last four years, Brett Wilson has been using something learned from books and combining with fieldwork to understand the diversity of tulips, with a view of identifying which species are most at risk of extinction.
Come and listen to Brett speak about the research and the adventures that have occurred in our search to find and protect wild tulips in this remote corner of the world. These will be live face-to-face talks taking place in the Botanic Garden Classroom for those visitors with interest.
21．What do we know about Science on Sundays?
A．It focuses on plants.
B．It is a paid programme.
C．It appeals only to children.
D．It is a live broadcast on weekdays.
22．How does Brett Wilson understand tulips’ diversity?
A．By making assumptions.
B．By picking and collecting tulips.
C．By growing tulips in greenhouses.
D．By combining theory and practice.
23．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To ask visitors to plant more tulips.
B．To call on visitors to listen to the talks.
C．To push visitors to take more botany classes.
D．To advise visitors to take adventure in remote areas.

What does a PhD student do? I am a PhD girl student being responsible for the tear where undergraduate and master students work together. They work on different aspects of my project and other projects in the team. I offer them advice and sort out issues they have. I also assist them with computer-aided design (CAD), programming, and teach them how to use some equipment, like 3D printers. Being in charge of the research group while working or my PhD is also a learning process for me. There is so much support from my supervisors and senior students. There is usually someone to turn to for help!
I start my day at 5 am. I will read some papers and work on my project before heading to the lab in the hospital at 11:00. This summer, our team consists of 40 students, so the lab is usually occupied when I get there. I will attend some meetings, meet with students, and then program or work on CAD．
The best part of my research work is the flexibility in that it involves both software and hardware development. Whenever I get stuck on the programming part, I will move onto CAD for a break. It does not require me to be attached to my screen at all times, which can be quite refreshing.
My project about the development of a robotic system impresses me a lot. A huge mile-stone for me is designing and developing my first model of a robot. It is quite satisfying to make progress and be reminded of the great potential my research has for improving the current medical treatment.
I think I can progress even further if I have more confidence in myself and ask others for help when I need it most. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter who you want to ask for help, because they may know more about the topic than you do. So, expose yourself to people in the roles you wish to be in and make lots of connections!
24．What does the author think of being responsible for the research group?
A．Troublesome.
B．Beneficial.
C．Effortless.
D．Casual.
25．What satisfies the author most in the study?
A．Reading some papers.
B．Freely choosing subjects.
C．Asking teachers for help.
D．Relaxing by switching work.
26．What does the author convey in paragraph 4?
A．Her pride in the research result.
B．The importance of teamwork in the research.
C．The difficulty of developing a robotic system.
D．Her confusion about designing a robot model.
27．What does the author want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?
A．Offer to help others.
B．Expose our abilities to others.
C．Turn to others for help when necessary.
D．Cooperate with other people as we wish.

Brown rice is a tough sale when offered next to white. Despite the fact that brown rice is healthier, people prefer white rice because they think it just tastes better, just like folks opt for white bread instead of whole wheat. White rice and brown rice begin as the same thing-they come from the same grain, after all. But white rice is different from brown rice in terms of processing.
When rice is first harvested, it is washed, and the outer covering is removed from the grains. At this point, what you’re left with is brown rice. It still has several thin layers of bran coating the grain. To get white rice from that grain, it also has to be milled and polished down, removing the bran. That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.
One cup of cooked brown rice contains 4 g of fiber and 5 g of protein, while one cup of cooked white rice contains only 1 g of fiber and 4 g of protein. But fiber isn’t the only benefit of brown rice, Studies have found that it can reduce the risk of diabetes.
One of the reasons white rice has soared in popularity is that it’s easier to cook. Not only does it take less time because the fibrous bran has been removed, but it turns out with a soft, delicious result more often than not. What makes brown rice so hard to prepare is the fact that you have to cook it long enough to soften the bran, but not so long that the inner grain turns mushy. This is tricky, but it’s not impossible. There are many foolproof methods you can use. One is to get a rice cooker, but if you’re not up for another appliance on your kitchen counter, there are other options.
28．How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A．By making a comparison. B．By quoting a proverb.
C．By using imagination. D．By listing data.
29．Which of the following is a difference between white rice and brown rice?
A．White rice is thicker. B．Brown rice has better taste.
C．Brown rice is less processed. D．White rice contains more vitamins.
30．What makes white rice easier to cook compared to brown rice?
A．Having no bran. B．Containing more fiber.
C．Having no endosperm. D．Containing more protein.
31．What is the author’s attitude to eating brown rice?
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Tolerant. D．Curious.

A new technique using drones (无人机) to count lions in the wild has been tested in Uganda. The drones were used by scientists from The University of Queensland, Australia, to get a more accurate idea of lion populations. At the moment, it is thought that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 wild lions left in Africa. However, the team’s recent findings suggest that there are far fewer lions in the wild than experts previously thought.
Alexander Braczkowski, the lead researcher, spent a year monitoring and filming the big cats in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area. In this part of Africa, the lions have a habit of spending time lying around in trees. Using a drone, Braczkowski was able to get close to each one and take high-quality photos of its whisker (胡须) pattern. This was useful because each lion’s whisker pattern is unique. The team could then differentiate individual lions using the photos and be sure they were not counting individuals twice. Braczkowski says this is much more accurate than the current counting methods.
One common way to count lions in an area is to estimate the number in one small part of that area, according to how many lion tracks that researchers find. This number is then multi-plied to calculate an estimate for how many lions are in the larger area. However, Braczkowski says this is not  as reliable as the new way because lions are not evenly spread out in the wild and the number of lions varies from area to area. Another is to go out at night and play the sound of a distressed prey animal, such as an antelope, through a loudspeaker. The lions are counted as they emerge to find out what the noise is. The trouble with this method is that re-searchers might count the same lions twice in the dark or miss some, because not all of them might appear.
Braczkowski says people should start using the drone method for counting. Knowing for certain how many lions are in the wild will allow conservationists to know where the big cats are and how to protect them best.
32．What does the research show?
A．The new technique remains to be tested.
B．The lions in Africa are more than thought.
C．The authenticity of lion populations is challenged.
D．The previous research findings are thoroughly right.
33．What does the underlined word “differentiate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Restrict. B．Defend.
C．Trick. D．Identify.
34．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The usage of the new way.
B．The strengths of the new way.
C．The reliability of the common ways.
D．The inaccuracy of the common ways.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Testing wild lions’ calculating ability
B．Effective measures to protect wild lions
C．Using drones to count lions in the wild
D．Scientific ways to predict the number of wild lions

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了糙米和白米的区别以及糙米的一些好处。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Brown rice is a tough sale when offered next to white. Despite the fact that brown rice is healthier, people prefer white rice because they think it just tastes better, just like folks opt for white bread instead of whole wheat. White rice and brown rice begin as the same thing-they come from the same grain, after all. But white rice is different from brown rice in terms of processing.(糙米和白米放在一起很难卖出去。尽管糙米更健康，但人们更喜欢白米，因为他们认为白米味道更好，就像人们选择白面包而不是全麦面包一样。白米和糙米一开始是一样的——毕竟它们来自同一种谷物。但是在加工方面，白米和糙米是不同的)”可推知，作者通过作比较引出文章的主题。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.(这就是为什么糙米是一种全谷物。它包含谷物的所有部分，包括纤维麸皮、营养胚芽和胚乳。白米去除了麸皮、胚芽、大量纤维、维生素和其他营养物质)”可知，糙米加工较少。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not only does it take less time because the fibrous bran has been removed, but it turns out with a soft, delicious result more often than not. What makes brown rice so hard to prepare is the fact that you have to cook it long enough to soften the bran, but not so long that the inner grain turns mushy. (不仅因为去掉了纤维麸皮，所以花的时间更少，而且往往会做出柔软可口的结果。糙米很难准备的原因是，你必须煮足够长的时间来软化麸皮，但又不能煮得太长，以至于内部的谷物变成糊状)”可知，与糙米相比，没有麦麸让白米更容易煮。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据第二段中“That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.(这就是为什么糙米是一种全谷物。它包含谷物的所有部分，包括纤维麸皮、营养胚芽和胚乳。白米去除了麸皮、胚芽、大量纤维、维生素和其他营养物质)”以及第三段“But fiber isn’t the only benefit of brown rice, Studies have found that it can reduce the risk of diabetes.(但纤维并不是糙米的唯一好处，研究发现它可以降低患糖尿病的风险)”可推知，作者对吃糙米的态度是支持。故选B。
32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是澳大利亚昆士兰大学的科学家使用无人机来更准确地了解狮子的数量。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, the team’s recent findings suggest that there are far fewer lions in the wild than experts previously thought.(然而，该团队最近的发现表明，野生狮子的数量远比专家们之前认为的要少。)”可知，研究表明狮子数量的真实性受到了挑战。故选C。
33．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Using a drone, Braczkowski was able to get close to each one and take high-quality photos of its whisker (胡须) pattern. This was useful because each lion’s whisker pattern is unique.(使用无人机，布拉兹科夫斯基能够接近每一个，并拍摄高质量的胡须图案照片。这很有用，因为每只狮子的胡须图案都是独一无二的。)”，因此划线词所在句子表示“然后，研究小组就可以通过照片来区分每只狮子，并确保他们不会重复计算每只狮子”，划线词differentiate的意思是“区分”，和identify意思相近，故选D。
34．主旨大意题。根据第三段的“However, Braczkowski says this is not   as reliable as the new way because lions are not evenly spread out in the wild and the number of lions varies from area to area.(然而，布拉兹科夫斯基说，这种方法不如新方法可靠，因为狮子在野外不是均匀分布的，而且狮子的数量因地区而异。)”和“The trouble with this method is that re-searchers might count the same lions twice in the dark or miss some, because not all of them might appear.(这种方法的问题在于，研究人员可能会在黑暗中把同一只狮子数两次，或者漏掉一些，因为不是所有的狮子都可能出现。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是常用方法的不准确性。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A new technique using drones to count lions in the wild has been tested in Uganda.  The drones were used by scientists from The University of Queensland, Australia, to get a more accurate idea of lion populations.(一项使用无人机在野外数狮子的新技术在乌干达进行了测试。澳大利亚昆士兰大学的科学家使用无人机来更准确地了解狮子的数量。)”可知，本文主要讲的是澳大利亚昆士兰大学的科学家使用无人机来更准确地了解狮子的数量，因此最好的题目是C选项“Using drones to count lions in the wild(用无人机在野外数狮子)”。故选C。
36．F 37．D 38．E 39．A 40．G

39．分析语篇可知，此空为本段的小标题，所以与其它段落的小标题句式相同，均为祈使句，根据该段首句“Writing down and organizing your thoughts can help you to track and achieve goals.(写下和组织你的想法可以帮助你跟踪和实现目标)”可知，记录自己的想法有助于跟踪和实现自己的目标，所以本段的主题与“记录内容”相关，A选项“Keep a journal(记日记)”为祈使句，同时讲述的内容与本段主题一致。故选A项。
40．根据空格所处的位置在段尾，应是对该段内容的总结，且根据第四题可知，本段讲述的内容与记录相关，所以该空内容仍与此相关，G选项“The process of recording will help you to reflect and boost brain function(记录过程将帮助您反映和增强大脑功能)”讲述的是记录的过程给大脑带来的好处，与本段内容吻合，且最该段的内容做出总结，符合题意。故选G项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是美国女士JongMay Urbonya对中国传统文化的热爱。
61．考查定语从句。句意：在国家的保护下，今天的中国传统文化正焕发出新的光芒，不仅越来越吸引国内的年轻一代，也越来越吸引外国的年轻人。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词“traditional Chinese culture”是物，因此空格处用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
62．考查副词。句意：在国家的保护下，今天的中国传统文化正焕发出新的光芒，不仅越来越吸引国内的年轻一代，也越来越吸引外国的年轻人。空格处用副词nationally作状语，nationally意为“全国性地”，故填nationally。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：身着精致的中国传统服装——汉服，一头棕色头发的美国女士JongMay Urbonya在镜头前用完美的中文分享了她对中国古代诗歌的理解。句中shares是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，be known as是固定短语，意为“被称为”，因此空格处用过去分词known表被动，作后置定语，故填known。
64．考查介词。句意：身着精致的中国传统服装——汉服，一头棕色头发的美国女士JongMay Urbonya在镜头前用完美的中文分享了她对中国古代诗歌的理解。此处表示她有着棕色头发，空格处用介词with表示“有着”，故填with。
65．考查名词的复数。句意：令人惊讶的是，她的短视频在网上吸引了许多中国观众的点赞和积极评论，比如“你的中文说得比我好得多”和“你对中国文化的理解如此深刻，让我印象深刻。”空前有many，空格处用复数，故填comments。

67．考查非谓语动词。句意：这位28岁的博主目前居住在北京，他创办了一家公司，旨在通过视频分享平台推广中国传统文化。句中谓语是started，空格处用非谓语动词，blogger和live之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填living。
68．考查不定式。句意：她说:“看到我的账号在短短几个月内就吸引了数万名订阅用户，我很高兴。”it is great to do是固定短语，意为“做某事很好”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，因此空格处是不定式to see，故填to see。
69．考查时态。句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我沉迷于中国古装剧，经常穿着白色的长裙假装是中国古代的公主。由“When I was a kid”可知，句子时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式wore，故填wore。
70．考查冠词。句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我沉迷于中国古装剧，经常穿着白色的长裙假装是中国古代的公主。princess是泛指，前面要加不定冠词，ancient是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者和爸爸在上周末去帮助爷爷奶奶修理宽带和教爷爷奶奶使用智能手机的事情。

2.考查动名词。句意：除了看望祖父母，我们还想帮助他们修好宽带网络。Besides是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故将visited改为visiting。
3.考查过去分词。句意：除了看望祖父母，我们还想帮助他们修好宽带网络。network和fix之间为逻辑被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补。故将fixing改为fixed。
4.考查固定短语。句意：爸爸提前让通讯公司做了。in advance是固定短语，意为“提前”，故去掉the。
5.考查副词。句意：一个技术员准时来了，很快就完成了他的工作。修饰动词finished要用副词rapidly，意为“快速地”，故将rapid改为rapidly。

10.考查介词。句意：现在，我经常在网上和爷爷奶奶聊天。chat with sb.是固定短语，意为“和某人聊天”，故在chat后加with。
72．One possible version:
A meaningful charity sale activity
Last weekend, our school held a charity sale activity in the school gym. We donated varieties of items, such as books, earphones, computers, pens, and so on. Then we sold them for a sum of money. The money we raised would be donated to the poor mountainous villages.
The activity was a success and benefited us a lot. It could raise our charity awareness as well as develop the habit of helping people in need. What’s more, it was also a rare opportunity to cultivate our organizational capabilities.
Personally, it was a meaningful activity, where I felt a strong sense of participation and team spirit at first hand. I’m looking forward to more activities like it.
