Recently Stiles aged 17 took her 3-year-old brother, James, to her high school. A family emergency prevented her parents from being able to pick up James. So they asked Stiles to step in.

''This was a one-time event; we have never had her get him from school other than this day But it was an emergency, '' her mother said. ''I figured she had gone to get him and taken him home Later that day I saw the picture online and realized that she had taken him back to school. ''

Little James quickly fell asleep in his big sister's arms at the high school.

She didn't want to be counted absent or miss any work. Stiles was studying to be a nurse. She was in her class, and the teacher gladly welcomed her little brother in.

Her mom said she can now put to rest any worries she's had that the 14-year age gap between Stiles and James would keep them from being close. As a mom, she was thankful that they had this kind of relationship, and she prayed it would always stay this way.

Road networks are expanding worldwide at an alarming rate. Although roads can promote economic development and improve human welfare, they can also have severe effects on wildlife populations by worsening habitat and human disturbance. Moreover, traffic disturbance from noise, lights, and motion reduces the quality of habitat near roads.

While roads are now everywhere across much of the earth, the construction of new roads will be concentrated in areas with high biodiversity value. Many of these new roads and highways will likely cross reserves or other highly biodiverse areas. Although roads are one of the most important impacts on global ecosystems, we know little about how patterns in road construction will affect biodiversity in the coming decades.

Here, we use a recently developed global roads data set to investigate the extent and potential influence of road networks across the 1,160,000-km,13-country range of the globally endangered tiger. In the Russian Far East, for example, roads reduce tiger survival rates due to crashes into vehicles. In some regions, tigers avoid areas closer to public roads, suggesting that roads act as important barriers to movement. The emerging impacts of road development on tigers are critical for several reasons.

We calculate road density (度), distance to the nearest road, and relative mean species abundance (MSA) to characterize how road networks influence tiger habitats. These systems of measurement provide starting points for range-wide monitoring and impact assessments of road development projects, thus enabling evaluation of progress toward country-level conservation and sustainable (可持续的) development goals.

8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The importance of creating reserves.

B. The destruction to global ecosystems.

C. The effect on biodiversity worldwide.

D. The opinion about road construction.

9. Why is road development attacked?

A. It has bad influence on tigers.

B. It causes more traffic accidents.

C. It covers too many areas.

D It requires a quantity of funds.

10. How does the author feel about the systems of measurement?

A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.

C. Concerned. D. Astonished.

11. In which section of a website may the text appear?

A. Entertainment. B. Health.

C. Education. D. Science.

【答案】8. C    9. A    10. A    11. D

D

Over the past decade, drug-resistant diseases have appeared as a major health threat. But where do they develop the drug resistance? One surprising theory: they may have developed the resistance on farms, and not in hospitals.

The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections, including fungi (真菌). Fungi are continually mutating (变异), and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks, they mutate quickly. When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical-killing fungi, fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment, such as a human body. And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide encountered on the farm, Fungi may develop quickly in the human body-just as they did in the field.

An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field. Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance, it would help restore diversity to the fungal world. Fungicides are a must in the farming community. Plant diseases pose a major problem for farmers globally-in some crops, disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent-and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.

Just like Fungi-or, indeed, any living thing-plants continually evolve. This is how natural gene editing (基因编辑) works, and without it, we'd all still be single cells in a salty soup. Through natural selection, almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to Fungi. But this can take centuries, so we don't have the time to wait.

On the other hand, advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature's gene editing process in plants, helping us develop resistance to a disease. Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance-just as nature would do, if given enough time.

12. What can we infer about Fungi from Paragraph 2?

A. They can treat infection sometimes.

B. They don't stop developing new forms.

C. A human body is their favorite place.

D. There are no Fungi in the fields now.

13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ''pose'' in paragraph 3?

A. Solve. B. Face.

C. Cause. D. Overcome.

14. What makes a plant produce resistance to Fungi?

A. The survival of the fittest.

B. Advances in technology.

C. The use of farm chemicals.

D. A welcoming environment.

15. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Ways to Prevent Drug-resistant Diseases

B. The Source of the Drug Resistance

C. The Popularity of Gene Editing Techniques

D. The New Theory of Natural Selection

【答案】12. B    13. C    14. A    15. B

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Dear Jeff,

I’m glad to hear from you and I’d like to share my experience of helping my parents do housework.

On a regular basis, I first do the dishes, sweep the floor and clean the windows and the table. Then I dust the TV set, sofa and other furniture. Tired as I am, I have a sense of achievement and feel proud of myself.

Not only does doing housework allow us to experience the hard work of our parents but also helps us to be independent and build up a sense of responsibility. It is a rewarding thing.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
