26、Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.

Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.

Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.

For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.

Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

【1】Animals are important to us mainly because______.

A．they give us a source of food

B．they are beautiful and lovely

C．they give us a lot of pleasure

D．they keep the balance of nature

【2】We can infer from the passage that________.

A．people have known the importance of animal protection a long time ago

B．the number of hawks is on the decrease

B．Became less.

C．Turned black.

D．Ate food.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Save the Animals

B．Useful Animals

C．Laws for Animals

D．Animals in Danger

27、Chinese scientists recently achieved precise total synthesis (合成) of sugar from carbon dioxide in the laboratory, marking a crucial step in artificial sugar synthesis.

The synthesis, which took more than two years to realize, was achieved by teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology and the academy’s Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. Their research was published last week in a paper in Chinese Science Bulletin, a multidisciplinary academic journal.

Sugar is a major source of energy for the human body and a key raw material for industrial production, and it is mainly obtained by extracting it from crops such as sugar cane. However, the traditional method of extraction is limited by the energy conversion efficiency of plant photosynthesis. Moreover, the process of extracting sugar has been affected by uncertain raw material supplies due to land degradation and shortages, ecosystem degradation and extreme weather and natural disasters caused by global warming.

As a result, artificial sugar synthesis has been continually studied by the scientific community in recent years, and scientists around the world have contributed to the effort. In their latest research, the Chinese scientists adjusted high-concentration carbon dioxide and other raw materials in the reaction solution. With the help of chemical catalysts and enzyme (酶) catalysts, they obtained four kinds of sugars: glucose, allulose, tagatose and mannose.

The experiment lasted about 17 hours, much shorter than the time required for traditional methods of sugar extraction, according to Yang Jiangang, lead author of the paper and associate researcher at the Tianjin institute.

The efficiency of sugar synthesis in this study was 0.67 grams per liter per hour, which was more than 10 times higher than the previous results achieved by scientists worldwide. Yang said that the carbon dioxide to sugar conversion rate of glucose reached 59.8 nanomoles of carbon per milligram of catalyst per minute. This is the highest level of artificial sugar production known domestically and internationally.

The study also achieved precise control of artificial sugar synthesis. “By controlling the varied catalytic effects of different enzymes, theoretically almost any type of sugar can be synthesized,” Yang said. Regarding the study, Manfred Reetz, a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, said it is a particularly challenging task to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.

The achievement by Chinese scientists has provided a flexible, multifunctional and efficient sugar synthesis route, which opens a door for green chemistry, Reetz said. Green chemistry, similar to sustainable chemistry, is a rapidly developing field that focuses on how to fully utilize raw materials and energy in the process of producing the intended product while minimizing or eliminating the use and generation of harmful substances.

Carbon dioxide to sugar conversion is seen as an example of green chemistry, since it was conducted under normal temperature and pressure conditions and did not yield any harmful substances.

【1】Why do scientists keep studying artificial sugar synthesis?

A．Because sugar is an essential energy source for industrial production.

B．Because the traditional extraction approach is not environmentally friendly.

C．Because raw material supply is unreliable in the process of traditional sugar extraction.

D．Because the traditional extraction approach is less productive than plant photosynthesis.

【2】How is the Chinese study significant?

A．It synthesized almost all types of sugar in the laboratory.

B．It controlled varied catalytic effects of different enzymes.

C．It converted high-concentration carbon dioxide into sugar.

D．It lasted 17 hours, shorter than previous traditional methods.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Green chemistry helped use up all raw materials to generate more products.

B．Carbon dioxide to sugar conversion will be used in industrial production soon.

C．Green chemistry is a new field where Chinese scientists will put more efforts on.

D．Carbon dioxide to sugar conversion will take up all sugar production due to its efficiency.

28、China is regarded as a miracle economy, and is well on its way to affecting the world in its way. Apart from the four ancient inventions and the four new technical inventions, which have been making people’s lives more and more convenient, the Belt and Road Initiative is changing the world. If we fail to swim with the tide (潮流) of history, we will be left behind. This is the central idea of the “Belt and Road” section in a Japan’s documentary China: the Great Dragon.

The documentary states its central idea by showing the vast farmlands of Kazakhstan, the classic small goods markets in Poland and an advanced robotics production center in Germany. They are now linked within a huge economic circle by "the B&R" Initiative. The cameras cap-red images of tall buildings and large skyscrapers in the Astana-the capital of Kazakhstan at were constructed with building materials produced in China-funded, brickyards. They also captured scenes of merchants from Eastern European countries who drove thousands of miles to buy goods at the China Mall in Warsaw, Poland. Annually, more than 1,000 trains from China arrive at Durisburg, Germany. In 2016, China became Germany’s biggest trade partner, and bilateral (双边的) economic and trade relations are only expected to grow from here.

The documentary featured the Eurasian continental railway, which relies on China's investment and operation. Shipping between China and European countries on the railway takes one-third the time of sea transportation, and goods can be delivered at only one-fifth the cost of air transportation.

It also shows many ordinary Chinese farmers cultivating farmland in Central Asia as well Chinese merchants involved in the Eastern European markets and those who find opportunities the mass ecommerce (电子商务) world. By getting involved in "B&. R" construction, hey enriched themselves and realized their dreams.

This Japanese documentary gives a vivid description that China’s steady advance and contribution to the development of the world has made it the second largest economy in the world.

30、Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the ________ of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in ________ the paths of storms.

Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network ________ 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized ________ takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.

These ________ are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen, giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. Most ________, on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.

If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will ________ severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. ________, the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹).

31、短文填空，每空一词。

Writer Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 11rh, 2012. The Swedish Academy, which gives out the annual prizes, d【1】Mo’s works as a mixture of fantasy and reality, history and the contemporary.

Mo, 57, whose r【2】name is Guan Moye, is the first Chinese writer to win the h【3】. It also came with a financial award of $ 1.2 million. “I grew up in an environment immersed in Chinese folk culture, which inevitably (不可避免地 ) come i【4】my novels when I pick up a pen to write. This has definitely affected -even d【5】- my novels’ artistic style.”Mo told the reporters s【6】after he won the award.

“Mo Yan d【7】the prize for what he has achieved.” said Eric Abrahamsent, a critic and founder of Paper Republic, and English-language website on Chinese literature. “Throughout his l【8】he has done much to develop the language and style of contemporary Chinese literature.”

A【9】China is proud of a tradition of literature and scholarship, few writers have won international r【10】. And for that reason, the Noble Prize for literature has always been an aspiration for Chinese writer. Mo’s win will shift the focus to more previously unknown Chinese works.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇光整的短文。

As we get older there are certain gifts standing out in our memories for a variety of reasons.

One gift I was given and treasured most was a doll named Patsy. She wasn’t originally mine but was my younger sister’s Christmas gift, but on holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t bear to part with het. Luckily, my sister was quite happy to exchange dolls. From then on Patsy was my baby and I continued to love her dearly and would have died for her.

Another gift I offered my Mom has been shining in my mind. On a Saturday, I was on my way to the local cinema when I happened to glimpse(一瞥) at the window of the gift shop at the corner of our street. There were lovely gloves, pretty flowered handkerchiefs, and rose patterned teacups and saucers, all in pretty boxes. Seeing all these lovely gifts reminded me that it would soon be Mother’s Day and my mother’s birthday. Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I could give my mother something really special, something I’d bought myself? So I stepped inside the shop and admired a dressing table set, which was a green cut glass with ornamental tray(装饰托盘) and several matching pieces. I was sure my mother would love it.

The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me the price. But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits. She pulled out a large notebook and wrote my name in it and the gift I wanted to buy, and in return I paid her a penny from my pocket money. It meant no sweets that day but I didn’t care. At the age of nine, I’d made my very first lay-by(分期付款)…and felt like a grown up. From then on, every Saturday I dropped in at the shop on schedule and paid a penny, which the lady dutifully recorded in her notebook.
