三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下面的三篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
A
The nose helps us a lot. It tells us when dinner is almost ready and leads the way to sweet cakes. It also tells us to keep away from bad smells. But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad?
Fish
You might have noticed that fish smell unpleasant sometimes. Fish from the ocean smell the strongest. These saltwater fish have a chemical (化学物质) called TMAO. While we prepare fish for cooking, TMAO is already changing into other things. One is called TMA. It smells super smelly. Usually, before cooks make saltwater fish a dish, they wash fish. And most of the TMA can be washed away. Cooks also add lemon to make the fish less smelly.
Feet
Foot sweat (脚汗) itself does not have a bad smell at first. But it has food and water that the bacteria (细菌) need. With them, the bacteria give off some smell. Most shoes often keep sweat in them. That makes shoes and socks warm and wet—a place where bacteria can grow. Different types of bacteria give off different smells. That’s why feet may smell like bad vegetables, smelly eggs or other smelly things.
Eggs
Many things smell terrible when they go bad. But a bad egg gives off the most famous bad smell of all and draws people’s attention. When an egg goes bad, the bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into sulfur and hydrogen (硫化氢). And it smells really bad. The nose just warns us away from it because too much sulfur and hydrogen will harm our health.
26. How does the writer tell readers that something smells bad in the passage?
A. By showing forms. B. By listing numbers.
C. By drawing pictures. D. By giving examples.
27. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Different bacteria produce the same smell.
B. A smelly egg gives off sulfur and hydrogen.
C. Dry shoes and socks can help bacteria grow.
D. Lemon increases the bad smell of saltwater fish.
28. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Word History. B. Cooking Tips. C. Travel Guide. D. Fun Facts.
B
Bicycles have long been a kind of transport in China. In the past, only a small group of people thought cycling a sport. Now more and more people discover the joy of it.
________ Riders share their favourite routes and health tips about cycling on some apps like Xiaohongsh u or Sina Weibo. On Xiaohongshu, there are more than 2.5 million posts (帖子) about cycling, and on Weibo, the topic about cycling has been viewed more than 700 million times. A bicycle company says the sales in one of its stores rose 20% to 30%, compared to the same period a year earlier. Cycling activities are also welcomed. According to the Chinese Cycling Association, at least 20 million people have joined in the sport.
People turn to cycling as more people care about their health and their demand for outdoor exercise becomes stronger. For people who have begun cycling, the sport seems to provide a good way to run away from the busy city life. It also gives them a stronger sense of being part of the natural environment. Though the sport cycling sometimes costs a lot, many cyclists think spending money on their own bodies is more valuable than on other items. More people take part in cycling as cities in China are also planning to build more cycle-only lanes (车道). Several years ago, Beijing started building the city’s first cycle-only lane. Since its opening, the lane has seen a larger daily traffic flow. Such lanes are also being built in some other cities.
29. Which of the following sentences is the most suitable for the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2?
A. Cycling has a long history. B. Cycling becomes a hot topic.
C. Cycling costs a lot of money. D. Cycling brings several advantages.
30. The underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. need B. plan C. design D. talent
31. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. It advises cities to build cycling lanes.
B. It shows the sales of cycling are going up.
C. It introduces cycling is becoming popular.
D. It recommends good cycling routes to people.

Katie was waiting for Gulliver’s calls. Instead, she just heard sparrows making noise in the bushes. “Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour.” Dad said. After breakfast, Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful boats made pretty pictures, but not the one she wanted most.

Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle’s neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull’s name, Gulliver, was given by him. The gull’s size and his single leg made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴儿车) on the floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the passing boat made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to Katie and stopped the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that. Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from water. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several summers passed, and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie tried new things.
This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do. One day, she rowed a boat out but was trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark clouds, she saw a single white feather. A gull feather? She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Katie sat up. “Katie! Katie!” Soon, Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How lucky! We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks,” Uncle Ralph said, “At least… it sounded like him. Strange, he was nowhere in sight.” Katie remembered the feather. “I thought I heard him, too.”
—Adapted from the story by Gillian Richardson

At the dinner table, Westerners use knives and forks, while the Chinese use chopsticks. S 46 at least 3,000 years ago, chopsticks have been the eating tool for the Chinese people. Ancient Chinese used pottery pots (陶罐) to cook food during the Pottery Age. And they used branches or bamboo sticks to p 47 up the food. Later on, they developed the habit of using the chopsticks. In general, the material of chopsticks can be d 48 into five groups: bamboo and wood, metal, jade, bone and chemical plastics. In Modern Chinese family life, people prefer to use the bamboo or wooden chopsticks b 49 they are good for the environment and cost a little.

Using knives and forks or chopsticks brings about a difference not o 50 in lifestyle. For example, the use of knives and forks makes it c 51 for people to eat individually (分别地). And the use of chopsticks makes it possible for the family members to have meals t 52 . As the Westerners prefer to eat individually, they have the idea and habit of not d 53 on others after they grow into adults. The w 54 that Chinese people use chopsticks and eat with others around the table is connected with the lifestyle of the Chinese family. Nowadays, an increasing n 55 of foreign students are coming to China. They are happy to learn to use chopsticks and enjoy the pleasure of eating with friends around the table.

Crying brings advantages to both your body and mind. It is a good way to make you feel less stressed and cheer you up. It also helps keep your eyes clean. Crying is like giving your eyes a good wash from the inside. Moreover, it can help you sleep better.
Crying is usually connected with emotions like anger or sadness. When you are happy, you may not often think of crying. But have you ever heard of “happy crying”? You might have experienced it before. Scientists have found out happy crying may happen in the following situations:
☆When you have feelings that can’t be expressed
When you have some bad feelings that haven’t been noticed for a long time, and they are not allowed to be expressed, happy crying happens. That is to say, even when you experience something happy, the bad feelings that haven’t been noticed or dealt with will still make you cry.
☆When you are unable to keep yourself in good condition
Crying can help you manage strong moods or feelings. Some happy moments can also bring you strong feelings and you may find it hard to control them, so crying can be of help. When you cry, it feels like you are driving some bad or terrible feelings away from your body. Besides, the hormones (激素) in tears can help to keep a balance between body and mood. They can ca lm you down and make you feel peaceful.

And usually these feelings are not allowed to be expressed. It also happens when happy moments bring strong feelings and you 60 to control yourselves.

The warm climate, water plants and wetland in nature reserves provide an ideal living environment for wild animals. This makes them feel like going back to nature. In reserves, people watch and study animals’ living habits, activities and so on.

Now, the AI system in reserves plays an important role in studying wildlife. Instead of using binoculars, people just sit in front of a big screen and then they can watch every move the animals make. The AI system helps in many ways. First, the AI system can tell the differences between different types of wild animals and record the changes in numbers based on their tails, feet and beaks. Second, it can keep recording animal behaviours for researchers day and night, while in the past, such recording could not last. Moreover, it can check unusual behaviours among the animals. If an animal walks or flies in an unusual way or lies on the ground for a while, the system can help find out what happens. So researchers can take quick actions to save it in time. Besides its main functions, the system can help to warn the unauthorized (未经许可的) people away from the protected areas. The AI system is also served as an educational platform (平台) for the people. By using it, visitors can watch and learn more about the wild animals living in the reserve.
However, there are problems. On one hand, the AI system itself sometimes mistakes an animal for another, or a plant for an animal. On the other hand, people still need to go around to get a whole understanding of wildlife because the AI system has not been put in at every corner of the reserves. To further develop the AI system, the reserves are now working with more high-tech companies.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。
The functions of reserves
●The reserves help wild animals feel like 61 to nature.
