Waterways are important for every country around the world. They provide not only water for everyday use but also routes for transport. However, due to industrial activity, many of them are now polluted.
Dakota Perry from the US has experienced water pollution firsthand. The 15-year-old high school girl told Alabama Local News that she spends a lot of time going on boat rides with her dad on the river behind their house. However, the river has become littered with plastic bags, bottles and cups.
Perry wanted to clean up the water so she could continue to enjoy the river. So, with the help of her father, she designed a system to collect and remove trash in waterways.
In May, Perry put forward her solution al the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair held in Gcorgia, US, and received a Judge’s Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for her project.
According to the Science News for Students website, her system was inspired by the Dutch Great Bubble Barrier in Amsterdam, which creates a flow of bubbles that trap waste and directs it to a catchment (集水) system. But Perry tried to challenge herself and make her system more environment-friendly.
She planned to create a curtain of bubbles that spanned the river diagonally(对角地).The curtain would stop the floating trash and then push it toward the shore. Once there, a conveying belt run by a solar-powered battery would carry the waste to trash bins.
In her backyard pool, Perry used an air compressor(压缩机)to send air through a pipe full of holes to create a stream of bubbles. She experimented with different amounts of pressure to make sure there would be enough bubbles to form a full curtain. “For the bubble system to actually work and actually collect the trash,” she explained to Science News for Students, “I have to know how much pressure the air compressor is supposed to push out.”
After she tested her system for collecting trash, Perry found that it worked better than expected. Next, she plans to work out how to use the power of the river to run the air compressor.
4. What drove Perry to design a trash-collecting system?
A. Her father’s encouragement. B. A science and engineering fair.
C Her desire to protect a nearby river. D. A study ou waterway pollution.
5. What do we know about the trash-collecting system?
A. It was designed partly by Perry’s father. B. It was inspired by a UK invention.
C. It creates a bubble curtain to block the trash. D. It uses water power to run the air compressor.
6. What is the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?
A. The way Perry tested her system. B. Difficulties Perry didn’t overcome.
C. Perry’s view on her system. D. Advantages of the system.
7. Which of the following best describes Perry?
A. Responsible and creative. B. Easy-going and hardworking.
C. Smart and honest. D. Patient and modest.
C
Jellyfish are badly named. They are neither a fish nor made of jelly. Instead, their bodies are made up of 95%water and 5%solid matter. They have been in existence for at least half a billion years. Hence, they are older than dinosaurs. Surprisingly, they don’t have a brain, a heart, or lungs. You may wonder how they can possibly survive without these vital organs, but everything is for the heat. they don’t have lungs because their skin is so thin that they can absorb oxygen through it. They don’t need a heart to pump blood because they don’t have any. And they have a nerve net which is sensitive to touch below their outer skin. They respond to the changes in their environment using signals from the nerve net, so they don’t need a brain to process complex thoughts.
Their variety is nearly endless. Most of them are umbrella-shaped and have tentacles (触角). Some jellyfish have very long tentacles. However, they never sting(刺) themselves. That’s because the tentacles are very slippery and will only sting other animals. Most jellyfish have little or no vision, but they can detect light and ocean currents, which helps them to navigate and move. A few species can also recognize color and have a 360-degree view of their environment.
Jellyfish come in all sizes, from 0.5 millimoters to the giant Nomura’s jellyfish, which can measure up to two meters in diameter and weigh over 200 kilograms. While jellyfish are beautiful, they can also be dangerous. Some jellyfish toxins (毒素) can be deadly to humans, such as those from the box jellyfish and the Australian Irukandji, but deaths are relatively rare given the number of jellyfish-sting victims every year. In any case, it’s better to stay out of the way of any jellyfish you may see! You can go swimming with dolphins, but you definitely want to think twice before swimming with jellyfish.
8. What does the author mean by “everything is for the best” in the first paragraph?
A. Ocean creatures without vital organs don’t live long.
B. Jellyfish live just fine with what they naturally have.
C. The numerous ocean species make life pretty easy for jellyfish.
D. It’s best for jellyfish to live because everything is suitable for them.
9. How long have jellyfish lived on our planet?
A. At least 5,000,000,000 years. B. More than 500,000,000 years.
C. Roughly 50,000,000 years. D. Less than 5,000,000 years.
10. Which of the following statements about jellyfish stings is true?
A. They are not painful to humans at all.
B. Only Nomura’s jellyfish are deadly.
C. Thousands of people die from them every year.
D. They are rarely deadly, but people should watch out.
11. Which of the following topics about jellyfish is NOT mentioned in the reading?
A. Their size. B. Their toxicity. C. Their diets. D. Their appearance.
D
This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to make up for the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium (平衡),snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s melting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3. 3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase” for what’s happening to the ice, Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles, the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition (过渡).
While investors are taking advantage of global warming experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, running out of the world’s resources at a faster rate.
12. What do we know about zombie ice?
A. It’s made up by nearby glaciers. B. It will melt away from the ice cap.
C. It’s independent from large glaciers. D. It has increased sea levels by 10 inches.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How zombie ice was formed in the past. B. Why more zombie ice can’t be created.
C. What the melting of zombie ice can lead to. D. How zombie ice functions in the ecosystem.
14. What’s the experts’ attitude toward the “treasure hunt” in Greenland?
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant C. Indifferent. D. Worried.
15. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To report on the melting zombie ice. B. To explain a natural phenomenon.
C To call for environmental protection. D. To comment on the “treasure hunt”.

Waterways are important for every country around the world. They provide not only water for everyday use but also routes for transport. However, due to industrial activity, many of them are now polluted.
Dakota Perry from the US has experienced water pollution firsthand. The 15-year-old high school girl told Alabama Local News that she spends a lot of time going on boat rides with her dad on the river behind their house. However, the river has become littered with plastic bags, bottles and cups.
Perry wanted to clean up the water so she could continue to enjoy the river. So, with the help of her father, she designed a system to collect and remove trash in waterways.
In May, Perry put forward her solution al the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair held in Gcorgia, US, and received a Judge’s Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for her project.
According to the Science News for Students website, her system was inspired by the Dutch Great Bubble Barrier in Amsterdam, which creates a flow of bubbles that trap waste and directs it to a catchment (集水) system. But Perry tried to challenge herself and make her system more environment-friendly.
She planned to create a curtain of bubbles that spanned the river diagonally(对角地).The curtain would stop the floating trash and then push it toward the shore. Once there, a conveying belt run by a solar-powered battery would carry the waste to trash bins.
In her backyard pool, Perry used an air compressor(压缩机)to send air through a pipe full of holes to create a stream of bubbles. She experimented with different amounts of pressure to make sure there would be enough bubbles to form a full curtain. “For the bubble system to actually work and actually collect the trash,” she explained to Science News for Students, “I have to know how much pressure the air compressor is supposed to push out.”
After she tested her system for collecting trash, Perry found that it worked better than expected. Next, she plans to work out how to use the power of the river to run the air compressor.
4. What drove Perry to design a trash-collecting system?
A. Her father’s encouragement. B. A science and engineering fair.
C. Her desire to protect a nearby river. D. A study ou waterway pollution.
5. What do we know about the trash-collecting system?
A. It was designed partly by Perry’s father. B. It was inspired by a UK invention.
C. It creates a bubble curtain to block the trash. D. It uses water power to run the air compressor.
6. What is the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?
A. The way Perry tested her system. B. Difficulties Perry didn’t overcome.
C. Perry’s view on her system. D. Advantages of the system.
7. Which of the following best describes Perry?
A. Responsible and creative. B. Easy-going and hardworking.
C. Smart and honest. D. Patient and modest.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. A

Jellyfish are badly named. They are neither a fish nor made of jelly. Instead, their bodies are made up of 95%water and 5%solid matter. They have been in existence for at least half a billion years. Hence, they are older than dinosaurs. Surprisingly, they don’t have a brain, a heart, or lungs. You may wonder how they can possibly survive without these vital organs, but everything is for the heat. they don’t have lungs because their skin is so thin that they can absorb oxygen through it. They don’t need a heart to pump blood because they don’t have any. And they have a nerve net which is sensitive to touch below their outer skin. They respond to the changes in their environment using signals from the nerve net, so they don’t need a brain to process complex thoughts.
Their variety is nearly endless. Most of them are umbrella-shaped and have tentacles (触角). Some jellyfish have very long tentacles. However they never sting(刺) themselves. That’s because the tentacles are very slippery and will only sting other animals. Most jellyfish have little or no vision, but they can detect light and ocean currents, which helps them to navigate and move. A few species can also recognize color and have a 360-degree view of their environment.
Jellyfish come in all sizes, from 0.5 millimoters to the giant Nomura’s jellyfish, which can measure up to two meters in diameter and weigh over 200 kilograms. While jellyfish are beautiful, they can also be dangerous. Some jellyfish toxins (毒素) can be deadly to humans, such as those from the box jellyfish and the Australian Irukandji, but deaths are relatively rare given the number of jellyfish-sting victims every year. In any case, it’s better to stay out of the way of any jellyfish you may see! You can go swimming with dolphins, but you definitely want to think twice before swimming with jellyfish.
8. What does the author mean by “everything is for the best” in the first paragraph?
A. Ocean creatures without vital organs don’t live long.
B. Jellyfish live just fine with what they naturally have.
C. The numerous ocean species make life pretty easy for jellyfish.
D. It’s best for jellyfish to live because everything is suitable for them.
9. How long have jellyfish lived on our planet?
A. At least 5,000,000,000 years. B. More than 500,000,000 years.
C. Roughly 50,000,000 years. D. Less than 5,000,000 years.
10. Which of the following statements about jellyfish stings is true?
A. They are not painful to humans at all.
B. Only Nomura’s jellyfish are deadly.
C. Thousands of people die from them every year.
D. They are rarely deadly, but people should watch out.
11. Which of the following topics about jellyfish is NOT mentioned in the reading?
A. Their size. B. Their toxicity. C. Their diets. D. Their appearance.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种在地球上生存长达5亿年的一种海洋生物——水母。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Surprisingly, they don’t have a brain, a heart, or lungs. You may wonder how they can possibly survive without these vital organs, but everything is for the heat.(令人惊讶的是，它们没有大脑、心脏或肺。你可能会想，如果没有这些重要的器官，它们怎么可能生存)”以及but形成的转折，结合下文中“They don’t need a heart to pump blood because they don’t have any. And they have a nerve net which is sensitive to touch below their outer skin. They respond to the changes in their environment using signals from the nerve net, so they don’t need a brain to process complex thoughts.(他们不需要心脏来输送血液，因为他们没有心脏。它们的外皮下面有一个对触摸很敏感的神经网络。它们利用来自神经网络的信号对环境的变化做出反应，所以它们不需要大脑来处理复杂的想法)”可知，水母虽然没有很多重要器官，但仍然生活得很好，故可猜测，“everything is for the best”意为着水母在自然条件下生活得很好。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“They have been in existence for at least half a billion years. Hence, they are older than dinosaurs.(它们已经存在了至少5亿年。因此，它们比恐龙还要古老)”可知，水母在我们的星球上生活了超过5亿年。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some jellyfish toxins (毒素) can be deadly to humans, such as those from the box jellyfish and the Australian Irukandji, but deaths are relatively rare given the number of jellyfish-sting victims every year. In any case, it’s better to stay out of the way of any jellyfish you may see! You can go swimming with dolphins, but you definitely want to think twice before swimming with jellyfish.(一些水母毒素对人类来说是致命的，比如箱形水母和澳大利亚伊鲁坎吉水母的毒素，但鉴于每年被水母蜇伤的人数，死亡人数相对较少。无论如何，最好离你可能看到的水母远点!你可以和海豚一起游泳，但在和水母一起游泳之前，你绝对要三思)”可知，D选项“它们很少致命，但人们应该小心”正确。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their variety is nearly endless. Most of them are umbrella-shaped and have tentacles (触角). Some jellyfish have very long tentacles.(它们的种类几乎是无穷无尽的。它们大多呈伞状，并有触角。有些水母有很长的触须)”以及第三段中“Jellyfish come in all sizes, from 0.5 millimoters to the giant Nomura’s jellyfish, which can measure up to two meters in diameter and weigh over 200 kilograms. While jellyfish are beautiful, they can also be dangerous. Some jellyfish toxins (毒素)can be deadly to humans, such as those from the box jellyfish and the Australian Irukandji, but deaths are relatively rare given the number of jellyfish-sting victims every year.(水母大小不一，从0.5毫米到直径可达2米、体重超过200公斤的巨型野村水母。虽然水母很漂亮，但它们也很危险。一些水母毒素对人类来说是致命的，比如箱形水母和澳大利亚伊鲁坎吉水母的毒素，但鉴于每年被水母蜇伤的人数，死亡人数相对较少)”可知，文章分别提到了水母的外观，尺寸，和有毒的特性。并没有提到水母的饮食方面的内容。故选C。
D
This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to make up for the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium (平衡),snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s melting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3. 3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase” for what’s happening to the ice, Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles, the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition (过渡).
While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, running out of the world’s resources at a faster rate.
12. What do we know about zombie ice?
A. It’s made up by nearby glaciers. B. It will melt away from the ice cap.
C. It’s independent from large glaciers. D. It has increased sea levels by 10 inches.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How zombie ice was formed in the past. B. Why more zombie ice can’t be created.
C. What the melting of zombie ice can lead to. D. How zombie ice functions in the ecosystem.
14. What’s the experts’ attitude toward the “treasure hunt” in Greenland?
A Supportive. B. Tolerant C. Indifferent. D. Worried.
15. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To report on the melting zombie ice. B. To explain a natural phenomenon.
C. To call for environmental protection. D. To comment on the “treasure hunt”.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A

In addition, I can help to clean up the International Student Service Center. As is known to all, a clean and tidy environment can stop the spread of the virus. Then, I’m willing to help take the overseas students’ temperature and urge them to wear their masks properly at the entrance of the service center.
To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. I’d appreciate it if you took my application into consideration. I will try my best if I’m accepted.
Yours,
Li Hua
