21、People depend on insects to pollinate the plants that make many of the fruits, nuts and vegetables we eat. Past studies had shown urban air pollution might veil the smells insects use to find flowers. Computer models predicted this would cause problems for insects, seeking flowers for a meal. But scientists weren’t sure that would happen in real life.

James Ryalls, a biologist, and his team decided to find out if it would. Working in a field, his group crafted a system made up of large rings. Each area was open, so nearby insects could fly into it. The researchers pumped pollutant gases into these rings. Then during each field season, the scientists recorded how many times pollinators visited the flowers in each ring.

“The results were much more severe than we thought,” Ryalls says. Adding pollution “caused up to 90 percent fewer insects to be able to find the flowers that they need for food,” he says. This was in comparison to the pollutant-free rings. In some cases, only some 30 percent of the pollinating insects even entered the circles with polluted gases.

Counting insects proved easier than getting the pollution into the rings, notes Ryalls. He spent much of his time working on parts of the system that needed fixing. Along the way, gas spills occurred. “By the end of each summer experiment I smelt like a petrol station,” he says. One effect: “Insects now avoid me.”

Later, they counted seed pods on the plants. Overall, only around seven in every 10 flowers had been pollinated. That means there were far fewer seeds in polluted circles. If these were fruit or vegetable plants, there would have been far less food produced.

This study focused on insects finding flowers. But insects also use smells for communication and attracting mates. If air pollution covers those smells too, these tiny animals might face more threats to their survival.

【1】What does the underlined word “veil” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Add.

B．Mask.

C．Release.

D．Form.

【2】What did scientists do in the experiment?

A．They counted insect visits to flowers.

B．They studied different polluted gases.

C．They drove some insects into the rings.

D．They pollinated flowers by themselves.

【3】What is the finding of Ryalls’ experiment?

A．Pollution can result in fewer flowers.

B．Insects are afraid of the rings in the field.

C．Insects struggle to find flowers in polluted air.

D．Plant flowers depend on insects to pollinate.

【4】What is most probably talked about in the next paragraph?

A．The aim of the study.

B．Ways to help pollinators.

C．Insects’ various survival skills.

D．Insects’ means of communication.

22、   Forget about the “post-1995 generation”. Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English — Generation Z. They are entering adulthood and will soon shape our future, which is why policy makers, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?

Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen-Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. Social media has changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process information. They read news from Twitter, watch videos from Vine, share experiences in Instagram and post recipes in Pinterest.

“We are the first true digital natives. I can almost simultaneously create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone, all from the user-friendly iPhone,” said Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student.

It is noted that young people in the UK are becoming more active in Politics. Young people regard voting as one option among many to show their political engagement that can potentially influence policies. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism(女权主义) or climate change. And “much of the engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the Guardians.

Gen Z-ers are also culture creators. Growing up with the Internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression. They are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules. “We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,” wrote Masback, a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z-er herself.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “pin down” mean in Paragraph 1?

A.Cooperate with. B.Firmly convince.

C.Communicate with. D.Clearly understand.

【2】What is special about the Gen Z-ers’ engagement in politics?

A.It’s topic-specific. B.It stresses social response.

C.It’s party-based. D.It has an immediate effect.

【3】What can be inferred about the Gen Z-ers?

A.They are socially responsible.

B.They are friendly and generous.

C.They are addicted to social media.

D.They are rooted in traditional culture.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Gen Z-ers?

A.Worried. B.Ambiguous.

C.Objective. D.Disapproving.

23、Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always said something positive. One day I asked him,“I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied,“Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices. To be in a good mood or bad mood.’ I choose the former.”

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy” I protested.

“Yes it is.” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It’s your choice how you live life.”

Soon thereafter, I changed my job. We lost touch. Several years later, I heard that Jerry was robbed and was shot. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied,“Really good.” I asked him what had gone through his mind when he was taken to the hospital. Jerry replied,“I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live, or die. I chose to live. The nurses kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses scared me. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked.

“Well, a nurse asked if I was allergic to anything,”said Jerry.

“Yes” I replied.

“The doctors and nurses were waiting for my reply…I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’   Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’” Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live positively.

【1】Why did the author ask Jerry question in the first paragraph?

A．Because he didn’t know whether Jerry was a positive person.

B．Because he wondered how Jerry consistently keep optimistic.

24、   It can be a struggle to find activities on holiday that children will enjoy, but in Wales there are plenty of options. These four family favourites are surefire ways to keep the kids entertained…

Caernarfon Castle

This magnificent fortress was built on the Welsh coastline in the 13th century. Caernarfon Castle is a historic paradise for children, alive with towers to climb, city walls to march along, and （with imagination）princes and princesses to rescue.

Rhossili Bay

The most splendid of the Gower Peninsula beaches—all three broad miles of it—conceals a mysterious secret. At high tide, the remains of the Helvetia, a wooden ship which ran aground in 1887, show itself.

Talyllyn Railway

Wales still echoes to the sound of steam trains of yesteryear, and the Talyllyn Railway, near Cardigan Bay at Tywyn, is perhaps the prettiest. It rises for seven miles along a narrow track. You will surely see “guest appearances” by engines from the world of Thomas the Tank Engine.

The National Eisteddfod

There is always a buzz when the National Eisteddfod—a great coming-together, which spins around music, poetry and food—clicks into operation. This year it will take place right by the sea at Cardiff Bay, offering hundreds of free activities and events for the whole family.
