In 1868 six-year-ld Laura Jernegan, her parents, and her baby brther, Presctt, set sail frm New Bedfrd, Massachusetts. This was n vacatin cruise. Laura’s father, captain f the whaleship Rman, was hunting the mightiest animal n earth.
Unwilling t be separated frm his family fr three t fur years while he made cean vyages thusands f miles frm hme, Captain Jernegan tk them with him t share in the adventure—and the danger-f life at sea. In the mid-1800s, as many as ne in six American whaling, captains tk their families n vyages.
What was it like t live n a whaleship? The diary Laura kept while she was at sea ffers a lk int her unusual childhd. She was fascinated by her father’s jb. When the ship’s lkut sptted a whale, Laura recrded it in her diary. “I hpe we shall get him,” she wrte.
She watched as the men rushed t their whalebats and chased the whales. As sn as a whale was caught, the crew began t prcess it. First the crew “cut in” the whale by remving its thick blanket f blubber (鲸脂).
After thrwing pieces f blubber int large pts, tw men wuld “get in the pts and squish (挤) ut the blubber,” Laura wrte. It must have been a strange sight because the sailrs were “way up t their knees” in the greasy fat, she reprted.
Nw came the ht, smky, and smelly par. A brick furnace (火炉) was fired up, and the blubber was tried ut, r biled int il. One huge whale prduced enugh il t fill seventy-five barrels, she nted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned hme, the il wuld be sld fr the best price pssible. Whale il was imprtant during mst f the nineteenth century. It was used t light lamps and t make candles.
Whaling was bth exciting and exhausting. Yet it als had its slw mments, Weeks culd g by withut s much as a glimpse f a whale. Then Laura filled her days with schl lessns and sewing.
When Laura was grwn, she never went whaling again. By then, petrl had already replaced whale il. This era, called the glden age f whaling, was ver. S was the era f entire families ging t sea. Yet Laura’s diary has helped t ensure that this chapter in America’s seafaring histry wn’t be frgtten.
4. Why did Laura set sail with her father?
A. She was a keen bserver and writer.B. She was fascinated by his father’s jb.
C. His father wuld hunt the mightiest animal.D. Her father wanted the family t stay tgether.
5. What can we learn abut prcessing the hunted whales?

C. It started frm biling the blubber.D. The wrkers culdn’t stand the heat and bad smell.
6. What d we knw frm the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

Plastic-Eating Wrms
Humans prduce mre than 300 millin tns f plastic every year. Almst half f that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up t 12 millin tns pllute the ceans. S far there is n effective way t get rid f it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stmachs f sme hungry wrms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently fund that the wrms f the greater wax mth can break dwn plyethylene, which accunts fr 40% f plastics. The team left 100 wax wrms n a cmmercial plyethylene shpping bag fr 12 hurs, and the wrms cnsumed and brke dwn abut 92 milligrams, r almst 3% f it. T cnfirm that the wrms’ chewing alne was nt respnsible fr the plyethylene breakdwn, the researchers made sme wrms int paste(糊状物) and applied it t plastic films. 14 hurs later the films had lst 13% f their mass — apparently brken dwn by enzymes (酶) frm the wrms’ stmachs. Their findings were published in Current Bilgy in 2017.
Federica Bertcchini, c-authr f the study, says the wrms’ ability t break dwn their everyday fd — beeswax — als allws them t break dwn plastic. ＂Wax is a cmplex mixture, but the basic bnd in plyethylene, the carbn-carbn bnd, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax wrm evlved a methd r system t break this bnd. ＂
Jennifer DeBruyn, a micrbilgist at the University f Tennessee, wh was nt invlved in the study, says it is nt surprising that such wrms can break dwn plyethylene. But cmpared with previus studies, she finds the speed f breaking dwn in this ne exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be t identify the cause f the breakdwn. Is it an enzyme prduced by the wrm itself r by its gut micrbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertcchini agrees and hpes her team’s findings might ne day help emply the enzyme t break dwn plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in sme kind f industrial prcess — nt simply ＂millins f wrms thrwn n tp f the plastic.＂
8. What can we learn abut the wrms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday fd.
B. They are newly evlved creatures.
C. They can cnsume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
9. Accrding t Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step f the study is t .
A. identify ther means f the breakdwn
B. find ut the surce f the enzyme
C. cnfirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdwn speed
10. It can be inferred frm the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A. help t raise wrms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used t clean the ceans
D. be prduced in factries in future
11. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T explain a study methd n wrms.
B. T intrduce the diet f a special wrm.
C. T present a way t break dwn plastics.
D. T prpse new means t keep ec-balance.

Yawning sends ut certain messages-it can be either “h, this mvie is s bring” r “I prbably need t get sme sleep”. But did yu knw that a yawn can als help yur brain t cl dwn when it is verheated?
A new study, led by. Andrew Gallup frm Princetn University and Omar Eldakar frm the University f Arizna, bth in the US, has indicated that yawning culd be the brain’s natural way f regulating temperature. Peple yawn mre ften when the temperature utdrs is lwer than their bdy temperature but are less likely t yawn when it is htter utdrs, accrding t Sciencedaily.cm.
The research team did an experiment n 160 peple, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, t examine hw ften they yawned at different air temperatures. The study fund that peple yawned mre ften in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lwer utside the bdy, there is heat exchange between the verheated brain and the cl air. But when the air temperature is higher than r equal t the bdy, peple are less likely t yawn because the ht air they breathe in will make the brain even htter.
When peple yawn, their jaw is als stretched (拉伸), which enhances bld f lw and may als help cl the brain.
The study shwed that the amunt smene yawned culd be related t the amunt f time they spent utside. The lnger peple spent utside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent f participants yawned within their first five minutes utside, but after that the percentage was reduced t less than 10 percent.
Hwever, the result was the ppsite in winter. The number f peple wh yawned increased when they spent mre than five minutes utdrs. But the change was nly slight cmpared t summertime.
Accrding t Gallup, this is the first reprt t shw that yawning frequencies change depending n seasn. This culd help us t better understand the way ur brains wrk. It may als help us understand the reasn why frequent yawning can smetimes be a sign f brain disease.
12. What happens when peple yawn?
A. Their brains feel cler.B. They avid feeling bred.
C Their bld flw slws dwn.D. Their brains feel mre energetic.
13. What can we cnclude frm the new study?
A. The lnger peple spend utside in winter, the less they yawn.
B. Peple have different yawning frequencies in different seasns.
C. Yawning is designed t help the bdy cl dwn in ht weather.
D. There’s a bigger change in yawning frequencies in winter than in summer.
14. Which is Gallup’s pinin abut yawning in the last paragraph?
A. Yawning reduces the risk f brain disease.
B. Stpping yawning halfway harms the human brain.
C. It’s better t stay indrs mre if they yawn a lt.
D. Yawning ften means smething is wrng with the brain.
15. What d we learn frm the article?
A. Peple yawn mre in cld weather.B. Peple yawn when they feel exhausted.
C. Peple yawn s their brains can get a rest.D. Peple stp yawning when they mve utdrs.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited t a ckut n an ld friend’s farm in western Washingtn. I parked my car utside the farm and walked past a milking huse which had apparently nt been used in many years. A nise at a windw caught my attentin, s I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying t escape. She was cvered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able t mve her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I lked arund t see hw she had gtten in. The brken windw glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece f clth int the hle and tk her utside, clsing the dr securely behind me.
When I pened my hand, the bird did nt fly away; she sat lking at me with her bright eyes. I remved the sticky spider-webs that cvered her head and wings. Still, she made n attempt t fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the windw t lng and was t tired? Or t thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path tward my car where I kept a water bttle, she began t mve. I stpped, and she sn tk wing but did nt immediately fly away.
Hvering (悬停), she apprached within six inches f my face. Fr a very lng mment, this tiny creature lked int my eyes, turning her head frm side t side. Then she flew quickly ut f sight.
During the ckut, I tld my hsts abut the hummingbird incident. They prmised t fix the windw. As I was departing, my friends walked me t my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew t the center f ur grup and began hvering. She turned frm persn t persn until she came t me. She again lked directly int my eyes, then let ut a squeaking call and was gne. Fr a mment, all were speechless. Then smene said, “She must have cme t say gdbye.”
