Are yur childhd memries clsely cnnected with cycling? Perhaps yu even remember the pride in getting yur first bike n yur birthday, cmplete with streamers (装饰彩纸条) cming ut f the handlebars, and the excitement f casting dwn the tallest hill in twn? When we were children, biking gave us independence, a sense f self, adventure and excitement, but city biking pses challenges t us when we are adults.
Obviusly, biking brings a number f benefits t the riders, but why aren’t there mre bikers n city rads? Gdrdering, a cmpany that designs bags t suit mdern active lifestyles, cnducted a survey and fund ut that the number ne factr preventing peple frm biking t wrk was the realizatin f rad safety”—sharing the rad with cars can be dangerus.
Omar Bakhshi, a UK-based develper, experienced this first-hand. A car brushed against him while he was cycling, leaving him with an injury that impacted his taste and smell fr life. Bakhshi realized what happened t him wasn’t unusual. Because bikers ften experience clse encunters (相撞) with cars, Bakhshi set ut t make the rads safer fr urban cyclists t use.
His cmpany, Tether, is launching a small sensr that ges n a bike’s handlebars. As the biker rides thrugh the city, the device prjects (投影) a “safety zne” f lights nt the pavement. The hpe is that these lights will frce car drivers t sit up and pay attentin t the rules f sharing the rad. If cars get t clse t the biker’s persnal space, the lights will start shining.
What makes Bakhsh’s device different frm similar devices n the market is its smart features. Tether’s device cllects data frm clse encunters with cars and then the data is rganized int a central database. The data can be accessed by bikers t determine which streets are safer fr cyclists and chse a rute t avid areas that have a large number f clse encunters with cars.
4．Hw des the authr lead readers t the tpic?
A. By intrducing an exciting biking trip.
B. By cmparing the past and the present.
C. By describing his favrite exercise in cities.
D. By listing sme ppular birthday gifts fr children.
5．What can we say abut Omar Bakhshi accrding t Paragraph 3?
A. He stressed the imprtance f teamwrk.
B. His cmpany faced a lt f challenges at first.
C. He was advised by many bikers t develp a cycling device.
D. His biking experience inspired him t imprve cycling safety.
6．Hw des Tether’s device wrk?
A. It guides the biker and warns car drivers.
B. It reduces the harm caused by an accident.

D. It reminds the biker t share special lanes with ther bikers.
7．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Cycling Makes A Better Wrld
B. Rad Safety Prblems in The UK
C. A Man Has Realized His Childhd Dream.
D. New Technlgy Imprves Yur Cycling Safety
Fr centuries, peple in Baltic natins have used ancient amber (琥珀) fr medical purpses. Even tday, babies are given amber necklaces t help relieve teething pain, and peple put the amber pwder in sme medicines fr its special effects.
Nw, scientists have fund substances (物质) that help explain amber’s medical effects and that culd lead t new medicines t fight antibitic-resistant (耐抗生素的) diseases. Each year in the US, at least 2.8 millin peple get antibitic-resistant diseases, leading t arund 35,000deaths, accrding t the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin. “We knew frm previus research that there were substances in Baltic amber that might lead t new antibitics, but they had nt been systematically explred,” says Elizabeth Ambrse, the main investigatr f the prject. “We have nw identified several substances in Baltic amber that shw activity against antibitic-resistant bacteria.”
Ambrse’s interest riginally came frm her Baltic heritage. While visiting her family in Lithuania, she cllected sme amber and heard stries abut its medical uses. Ambrse and a graduate student Cnnr McDermtt, wh is at the University f Minnesta, analyzed cmmercially available Baltic amber samples, in additin t sme that Ambrse had cllected.
“One majr challenge was getting a fine pwder frm the amber,” McDermtt explains. Thrugh trial and errr, he finally gt it. Then sme substances were identified. Because these .substances are difficult t deal with, the researchers bught pure samples and sent them t a cmpany that tested their activity against nine bacterial species, sme f which are knwn t be antibitic-resistant. “The mst imprtant finding is that these substances are active against gram-psitive bacteria,” McDermtt says.
“Mving frward with these results makes us elated,” Ambrse says. “Sme newly discvered substances are prbably the surce f new medicines, especially fr treating diseases caused by gram-psitive bacteria, which are increasingly becming resistant t knwn antibitics.” As scientists study the active prperties f ther traditinal medicines frm arund the wrld, it’ll be great t see ther findings.
8．What’s the finding f the new study?
A. Medical effects f amber lack scientific bases.
B. Amber can be used fr curing sme mental illnesses.
C. Antibitic-resistant diseases have caused many deaths.
D. Substances in amber can help fight drug-resistant bacteria.
9．What caused Ambrse t cnduct the research n amber?
A. A cultural exchange prgram at cllege.
B. The success f frmer amber researchers.
C. The traditinal belief in its medical value.
D. Her determinatin t cntribute t medicine.
10．Why did the researchers turn t a cmpany?
A. T acquire better amber.
B. T seek technical supprt.
C. T raise funds fr their research.
D. T mass-prduce their new medicine.
11．What des the underlined wrd “elated” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Cnfused.B. Anxius.C. Excited.D. Disappinted.
Tsunamis are ne f the mst terrifying natural phenmena that the wrld suffers. The series f waves generated by the displacement (位移) f a large vlume f water can be caused by several events, including earthquakes, underwater explsins and landslides. Once triggered (引发), a tsunami can hit the cast within minutes and its destructive pwer can be enrmus.
At present, early warning systems rely n measuring the mvement f dart buys (浮标), which recrd changes in the sea level, r assessing the bttm water pressure f the develping tsunami. But they require the tsunami t physically reach the measurement lcatin. The buys culd be fixed in the deep cean, but this requires an unrealistically big number f buys. Or peple can fix the buys alng the shreline, but due t the high speed f the tsunami, this methd may leave n warning time fr peple n the land.
Instead, there is a new system — using sund waves t predict tsunamis. Sund waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater micrphnes, we can recrd these sund waves lng befre the tsunami arrives regardless f the directin in which the tsunami will travel. The sund signals cme frm changes in pressure, s what we actually analyze is a series f data n hw the pressure is changing ver time. Thugh buys als shw changes in pressure, the tsunami frnt must actually reach the buys t infrm us that there is an increase in the water surface. By using underwater micrphnes, hwever, we nly need t catch the sund signals.
Thugh the idea f using sund waves t predict tsunamis has been put frward previusly, the key t ur idea is a new mathematical methd that can be used t analyze these recrded sund signals in near real-time. Once this is wrked ut, we can nt nly warn peple f a tsunami but als mre accurately estimate its size lng befre it reaches the shreline.
12．Frm Paragraph 1, we knw ______.
A. what can trigger ff tsunamis
B. hw t predict tsunamis effectively
C. why tsunamis are the wrst natural disaster
D. hw t prtect the castal areas frm tsunamis
13．What des the underlined wrd “they” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The dart buys.B. The changes in the sea level.
C. The changes in water pressure.D. The present early warning systems.
14．What can we infer abut the new warning system frm Paragraph 3?
A. It has high accuracy.B. It can increase warning time.
C. It can mnitr changeable sea levels.D. It can adapt t varius water wave cnditins.
15．In which clumn f a newspaper may the passage appear?
A. Survival Stries.B. Disaster Rescue.C. Scientific Inventin.D. Natural Envirnment.

解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，世界上越来越多的国家都在庆祝中国的春节。由Nwadays可知，句子时态用现在进行时，主语cuntries是复数，因此空格处是are hlding，故填are hlding。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：另外，不仅居住在国外的中国公民参加和享受这些活动，而且许多其他国家的人也参加和享受这些活动。句中已有谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，Chinese citizens和live之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作定语，故填living。
③考查名词的复数。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。activity是可数名词，不止一个活动，因此空格处用复数。故填activities。
④考查冠词。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。success (成功的事物)是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，big是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。

⑥考查副词。句意：人们也发现了与庆祝活动互动的乐趣，而不仅仅是作为观众的一部分观看。空格处用副词作状语修饰动词watching，simple的副词是simply，意为“仅仅”，故填simply。

⑧考查形容词。句意：与此同时，自2016年以来，纽约市的学生已经能够享受中国春节的官方假期。空格处用形容词作定语，ffice的形容词是fficial，意为“官方的”，故填fficial。
⑨考查比较级。句意：春节比世界上任何一个节日都更有魅力，它正在成为一个全球性的欢乐和爱的庆祝活动。由than可知，空格处用形容词比较级mre charming作表语，故填mre charming。
⑩考查定语从句。句意：春节比世界上任何一个节日都更有魅力，它正在成为一个全球性的欢乐和爱的庆祝活动。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The Spring Festival是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
