In Suth Africa, the African Penguin Nest Prject team made up f researchers and wildlife prtectrs frm arund the wrld has designed handmade ceramic (陶瓷的) nest bxes ver the last five years t prtect endangered penguins frm the warming weather caused by climate change.
In the past, the seabirds laid their eggs in hles dug int centuries ld layers f their wn waste. But in the late 1800s, mst f the waste was cllected as plant fd by traders. Since then, many penguins have nested in the pen, expsing them t heatstrke and their eggs t their enemies. “We have put this species at risk f extinctin, mainly because f human desires,” said Shaun Welman, a zlgist at Nelsn Mandela University. The ppulatin f these seabirds in Africa has fallen frm 3 millin t 48,000 since 1900, accrding t reprts.
But thanks t the team, mre than 1,500 ceramic nests have been made and placed acrss five different penguin clnies (群落) in Suth Africa. The structures are able t stand up t higher temperatures than traditinal hles and utperfrmed cement (水泥) and fiberglass mdels, accrding t a study c-authred by Welman.
The ceramic nests are built by hand. The 72-hur prcess requires a high level f attentin t details t make sure the raw materials are cmbined successfully. A number f air hles designed t give ut heat and keep penguins cl are drilled int the tp f the nests, says Kevin Graham, leader f the African Penguin Nest Prject.
Having spent three years researching and testing the nests, Graham placed the first 200 structures in tw Suth African penguin clnies in 2018. Within the first mnth, researchers discvered eggs in 40%f the nests in ne clny and 25%f the nests in the ther.
“If everything ges well and these nests cntinue t wrk, we can keep giving them hmes,” said Graham. “Each ne we build is ec-friendly.” He added, “We can’t slve the ppulatin decline with just the nests, but at least we can give them a place t raise kids.”
8．What led t the fall in penguins’ ppulatin at first?
A. Sea pllutin.B. Human activity.
C. Climate change.D. Intrduced pests.
9．What advantage d the ceramic nests have ver traditinal nes?
A. They are easier t build and repair.
B. They are mre envirnmentally friendly.
C. They can better prtect penguins frm the heat.
D. They can better stp the eggs frm being attacked.
10．What des the data in Paragraph 5 shw?
A. The ceramic nests are effective.
B. The penguins’ eggs are hard t find.
C. The ceramic nests need imprvements.
D. The tw clnies have different living habits.
11．What’s the authr’s main purpse in writing the text?

Blue jeans are as American as eating a ht dg at a baseball game. But have yu ever stpped t wnder why mst f us have blue jeans but nt red, purple, r green jeans?
Jeans are made f denim, which is a type f strng cttn clth. Jeans became wildly ppular in the American West during the Califrnia Gld Rush. This perid in the mid-1800s saw 300, 000 peple pack up their lives and head west in search f frtune (财富). Searching fr gld was difficult wrk, as peple wuld dig int the side f muntains and lk fr gld that had made its way int rivers and streams, and they needed durable clthing t help them. Levi Strauss and Jacb Davis saw a chance nt in gld, but in selling clthes t the tens f thusands f peple arriving every year. They teamed up t create indig — washed clth.
S why did they use indig(blue)t clr their jeans? It has t d with the character f indig. While mst ther clrs penetrate (渗透) deep inside clthing, indig stays n the surface f the threads (线).

My eight-year-ld sn didn't understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind f yghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f yghurt with a cartn kid riding a skatebard n the frnt f the bx, and a mere tw spnfuls in each cup. It was the kind f prduct that wastes a parent's mney and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when thse big eyes lked at me with cnfusin, as if t say, “It's just yghurt. What's the big deal?” S I fund a way. I put smething back as single mthers ften d. He gt his yghurt.
On the way driving back frm the grcery stre, I nticed a hmeless man hlding a sign by the side f the rad. My heart hurt, and I tried nt t lk at him. I watched peple stay away frm him n the street and walk by withut even meeting his eyes. My sn didn't seem t care much, either.

They teamed up t create indig—washed clth.(李维·施特劳斯和雅各布·戴维斯看到的机会不是黄金，而是向每年数以万计的游客出售服装。他们合作生产靛蓝水洗布)”可推知，文章第二段提及“淘金热”是为了告诉我们牛仔裤的创造背景，即，为什么牛仔裤会被创造出来。故选B。
13．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Searching fr gld was difficult wrk, as peple wuld dig int the side f muntains and lk fr gld that had made its way int rivers and streams(寻找黄金是一项艰难的工作，因为人们要在山的侧面挖洞，寻找流入河流和小溪的黄金)”可推知，因为寻找黄金是艰难的，所以人们需要耐磨耐用的衣服，划线词意思为：耐用的，与strng意思相近。故选C。
14．答案：A

Over time and after much cleaning, jeans clred with indig becme sfter and mre cmfrtable as well as get that “wrn in” lk we all lve.(那么他们为什么要用靛蓝来给牛仔裤上色呢？这和靛蓝的特性有关。当大多数其他颜色渗透到衣服深处时，靛蓝只停留在线的表面。这意味着当靛蓝色的衣服被洗涤时，一些线和颜色会被去除。随着时间的推移，经过多次清洗，靛蓝颜色的牛仔裤变得更柔软、更舒适，而且是我们都喜欢的那种“做旧”的感觉)”可知，用蓝色给牛仔裤上色是因为蓝色停留在衣服表面，所以洗涤时颜色和线很容易去掉，会让牛仔裤更柔软。故选A。
