Plastic （塑料）is everywhere. Accrding t the United Natins, a lt f rubbish is thrwn int waterways. There’s plastic litter at the bttm f the sea and n tp f muntains. Nw plastic has been fund in anther unlikely place: n the backs f hermit crabs（寄居蟹）. Accrding t a study, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells （壳）. Zuzanna Jagiell is a scientist at the University f Warsaw, in Pland. She’s the study’s lead authr. “Hermit crabs dn’t have hmes, s they use rubbish. ”
Hermit crabs are small, sft-bdied crabs that live near the sea. T prtect themselves, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails（海螺）.

Jagiell says that she and her team first learned abut hermit crabs wearing litter when they nticed phts f them psted nline. They decided t learn mre by ding research.
Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are chsing litter instead f snail shells. But they have several ideas. Sme sea snail ppulatins are ging dwn. Hermit crabs culd be turning t litter because they can’t find enugh seashells. It’s als pssible that crabs chse plastic because it’s light and easy t carry. Or they’re drawn t its clrs.
Scientists agree that plastic pllutin badly influences wild animals in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s a great example f the beauty f adaptatin, hw sme animals are living with humans,” Jagiell says. “What are the lng-term influences f these adaptatins? We dn’t knw.”

B. They are badly harmed by plastic.
C. Many f them have been seen wearing plastic waste.
D. Mst f them like glass because f its brightness.

从小跛足的作者很想参加学校的马拉松比赛，但是他迟迟不敢报名参加。好友Eric得知后，主动成为作者的陪跑员，帮助作者训练。在Eric的鼓励和陪伴下，两人共同参加了比赛。比赛时，作者不断突破自我，努力奔跑。然而在接近终点时，作者却意外摔倒……根据故事情节和续写首句可知，在Eric的帮助下，作者最终完成了比赛。第一部分学生应围绕作者站起来后努力完成比赛的情节展开，可以描写作者的内心感受和观众们的反应；续写第二部分学生应该重点描写作者对Eric的感谢，还可以体现作者通过本次比赛对“友谊”、“永不言败”、“突破自我”的感悟。

细节理解题。由第二段中的“Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavir f 30 dgs, catching their respnses t a range f stimuli （刺激物）with vide cameras. （意大利的研究人员研究了30只狗的摇尾行为，用摄像机捕捉它们对一系列刺激的反应）”和最后一段中的“While the changes in the tail wagging were nt easily nticed withut the aid f vide, it was thught that the findings culd help peple judge the md f dgs. （虽然没有视频的帮助，摇尾巴的变化不容易被注意到，但人们认为这些发现可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪）”可知，没有摄像机的帮助，人们很难发现狗的摇尾变化，所以在狗摇动尾巴时，摄像机更容易捕捉到狗的反应变化。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“The researchers led by Prfessr Girgi Vallrtigara f the University f Trieste fund that when the dgs were shwn their wners—a psitive experience—their tails wagged energetically t the right side. When they were shwn an unfamiliar human they wagged t the right, but with smewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance f a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, althugh with less intensity again. （的里亚斯特大学的 Girgi Vallrtigara 教授领导的研究人员发现，当狗狗们看到它们的主人时——这是一个积极的体验——它们的尾巴积极地向右摇摆。当它们看到一个不熟悉的人类时，它们的尾巴向右摇摆，但是没有那么热情。一只猫的出现再次引起了尾巴向右边摇摆，尽管 intensity 再次变小了）”可知，这三个例子，同样都在说狗尾巴向右摇摆，但是热情积极的情绪逐渐下降。因此，划线词“intensity”和前面的“energetically”，“enthusiasm”应是同义词，intensity在此处意为“兴奋（excitement）”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“When the dgs were nt shwn any stimuli they tended t wag their tails t the left, suggesting they preferred cmpany. （当狗没有受到任何刺激时，它们倾向于向左摇尾巴，这表明它们更喜欢有人陪伴）”可知，当没有刺激时，狗会向左摇尾巴。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“While the changes in the tail wagging were nt easily nticed withut the aid f vide, it was thught that the findings culd help peple judge the md f dgs. Cmputer and vide systems, fr example, culd be used by prfessinal dg trainers t determine the md f dgs that they were required t apprach. （虽然没有视频的帮助，摇尾巴的变化不容易被注意到，但人们认为这些发现可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪。例如，计算机和视频系统可以被专业的训狗师用来确定他们需要接近的狗的情绪）”可知，此实验能帮助人们判断狗的情绪，因此做这个实验的目的是帮助人们判断狗的情绪。故选B项。
