At first,Michael Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’home.He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house,when they got a call from one of his daughters:“The house next door is on fire!”He went to investigate.That’s when he saw two women and a girl panic-stricken on their doorway.
“The baby’s in there!”one of the women cried.Though the fire department had been called,Surrell,then 64,instinctively ran inside.“The baby”was 8-year-old Tiara,the woman’s granddaughter.
Entering the burning house was like“running into a bucket of black paint,”Surrell says.The thick smoke caused him to struggle blindly around,burned his eyes,and made it impossible to breathe.The conditions would have been risky for anyone,but for Surrell,who has lung disease,they were life-threatening.After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house,he withdrew outside to catch his breath.
“Where is Tiara?”he asked desperately.“The second floor,”The woman shouted back.Taking a deep breath,he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming.Yet because the house had a similar design to his,Surrell found the stairs and made it to the second floor.He was already out of breath.Then a soft but distinct moan appeared.He crawled toward the sound,feeling around for any sign of the girl.Finally,he touched something.A shoe,then an ankle.He pulled Tiara into his arms.Turning,he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness.The next thing he knew,he was at the front door,then outside.
Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later,having suffered severe burns.Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days.“It’s a small price to pay,”Surrell says.“I’d do it again in a heartbeat.Wouldn’t give it a second thought.”

The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction,threatening a“catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”,according to the first global scientific review.More than 40%of insect species are declining and third are endangered,the analysis found.The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals,birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us,for insects are at the heart of every food web.They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species,keep the soil healthy,recycle nutrients,control pests,and much more.Love them or 1oathe them,we humans cannot survive without insects,”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis,published in the journal Biological Conservation,says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines,particularly the heavy use of pesticides.Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped,this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years you will have a quarter less,in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none,”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo,at the University of Sydney,Australia.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that eat insects.“If this food source is taken away,all these animals starve to death,”he said.Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico,where a recent study revealed a 98%fall in ground insects over 35 years.
Matt Shardlow,at the conservation charity Buglife,said:“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations.It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”
8. Why are people worried about the insect decline?
A. They are vital to ecosystems. B. They provide food for pests.
C. They pollinate all plants. D. They enrich the soil.
9. What is the main cause of insect losses?
A. More and more trees. B. Restrictions on pesticides.
C. Upgrading agriculture. D. Friendly environment.
10. Where can you find the exact time of insect losses?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Humans can survive the punishment of nature
B. Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems
C. Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans
D. Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

Moving smoothly and silently through Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s futuristic “FlyZoo”hotel,black disc-shaped robots about a metre in height deliver food and drop off fresh towels.
The robots are part of a set of high-tech tools that Alibaba says strongly cuts the hotel’s cost of human labour and eliminates the need for guests to interact with other people.
Formally opened to the public last month,the 290-room FlyZoo is an incubator for technology Alibaba wants to sell to the hotel industry in the future and an opportunity to showcase its prowess in artificial intelligence.It is also an experiment that tests consumer comfort levels with unmanned commerce in China.
Inside the hotel,softly-lit white panelled walls bring to mind the interiors of Hollywood spaceships.Guests check in at podiums that scan their faces,as well as passports or other ID.Visitors with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of time.
Elevators scan guests’faces again to verify which floor they can access and hotel room doors are opened with another face scan.
“It’s very quick and safe.I haven’t used it much yet,but basically,I can be in my room in one minute,”said guest Tracy Li.Li added that safety was one of her priorities and she was pleased her room could only be entered with a scan of her face.
In the rooms,Alibaba’s voice command technology is used to change the temperature,close the curtains,adjust the lighting and order room service.
At the hotel’s restaurant,taller capsule-shaped robots deliver food that guests have ordered via the FlyZoo app while at a separate bar,a large robotic arm can mix more than 20 different types of cocktails.Facial recognition cameras add charges to the room rate automatically.
The hotel does employ humans,though Alibaba declined to detail how many.This includes chefs and cleaners as well as reception staff,who will assist with conventional check-in procedures for guests unwilling to have their faces scanned and want to use electronic key cards.
12. What does the underlined word“eliminates”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Removes. B. Meets.
C. Limits. D. Increases.
13. Why does Alibaba build the FlyZoo?
A. To cut the cost of consumers.
B. To compete with other hotels.
C. To experiment its artificial intelligence.
D. To make sure of the safety of guests.
14. What distinctive feature does the FlyZoo have?
A. It doesn’t need waiter sand cooks in the restaurant.
B. Its robots can mix cocktails and take food to the guests.
C. Guests can enter the room quickly without scanning.
D. Voice command technology meets all needs of guests.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Conventional things must be abolished.
B. Artificial intelligence has many advantages.
C. Personal information of guests is confidential.
D. Humans cannot be replaced completely.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D

___19___ Men who spent 90 minutes a day or more being active were 39%more likely to live to 90 than men who were physically active for less than 30 minutes.
However,women who were physically active for more than 60 minutes a day were only 21%more likely to live to 90 than those who did 30 minutes or less.And unlike men,there was no bonus for increasing activity.___20___
A.Height played a major factor.
B.No such association was seen for men.
C.The study was observational and couldn’t establish cause.
D.In fact,the study found that the optimal level of activity for women was 60 minutes a day.

At first,Michael Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’home.He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house,when they got a call from one of his daughters:“The house next door is on fire!”He went to investigate.That’s when he saw two women and a girl panic-stricken on their doorway.
“The baby’s in there!”one of the women cried.Though the fire department had been called,Surrell,then 64,instinctively ran inside.“The baby”was 8-year-old Tiara,the woman’s granddaughter.
Entering the burning house was like“running into a bucket of black paint,”Surrell says.The thick smoke caused him to struggle blindly around,burned his eyes,and made it impossible to breathe.The conditions would have been risky for anyone,but for Surrell,who has lung disease,they were life-threatening.After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house,he withdrew outside to catch his breath.
“Where is Tiara?”he asked desperately.“The second floor,”The woman shouted back.Taking a deep breath,he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming.Yet because the house had a similar design to his,Surrell found the stairs and made it to the second floor.He was already out of breath.Then a soft but distinct moan appeared.He crawled toward the sound,feeling around for any sign of the girl.Finally,he touched something.A shoe,then an ankle.He pulled Tiara into his arms.Turning,he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness.The next thing he knew,he was at the front door,then outside.

The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction,threatening a“catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”,according to the first global scientific review.More than 40%of insect species are declining and third are endangered,the analysis found.The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals,birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us,for insects are at the heart of every food web.They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species,keep the soil healthy,recycle nutrients,control pests,and much more.Love them or 1oathe them,we humans cannot survive without insects,”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis,published in the journal Biological Conservation,says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines,particularly the heavy use of pesticides.Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped,this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years you will have a quarter less,in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none,”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo,at the University of Sydney,Australia.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that eat insects.“If this food source is taken away,all these animals starve to death,”he said.Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico,where a recent study revealed a 98%fall in ground insects over 35 years.
Matt Shardlow,at the conservation charity Buglife,said:“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations.It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”
8. Why are people worried about the insect decline?
A. They are vital to ecosystems. B. They provide food for pests.
C. They pollinate all plants. D. They enrich the soil.
9. What is the main cause of insect losses?
A. More and more trees. B. Restrictions on pesticides.
C. Upgrading agriculture. D. Friendly environment.
10. Where can you find the exact time of insect losses?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Humans can survive the punishment of nature
B. Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems
C. Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans
D. Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico

Moving smoothly and silently through Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s futuristic “FlyZoo”hotel,black disc-shaped robots about a metre in height deliver food and drop off fresh towels.
The robots are part of a set of high-tech tools that Alibaba says strongly cuts the hotel’s cost of human labour and eliminates the need for guests to interact with other people.
Formally opened to the public last month,the 290-room FlyZoo is an incubator for technology Alibaba wants to sell to the hotel industry in the future and an opportunity to showcase its prowess in artificial intelligence.It is also an experiment that tests consumer comfort levels with unmanned commerce in China.
Inside the hotel,softly-lit white panelled walls bring to mind the interiors of Hollywood spaceships.Guests check in at podiums that scan their faces,as well as passports or other ID.Visitors with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of time.
Elevators scan guests’faces again to verify which floor they can access and hotel room doors are opened with another face scan.
“It’s very quick and safe.I haven’t used it much yet,but basically,I can be in my room in one minute,”said guest Tracy Li.Li added that safety was one of her priorities and she was pleased her room could only be entered with a scan of her face.
In the rooms,Alibaba’s voice command technology is used to change the temperature,close the curtains,adjust the lighting and order room service.
At the hotel’s restaurant,taller capsule-shaped robots deliver food that guests have ordered via the FlyZoo app while at a separate bar,a large robotic arm can mix more than 20 different types of cocktails.Facial recognition cameras add charges to the room rate automatically.
The hotel does employ humans,though Alibaba declined to detail how many.This includes chefs and cleaners as well as reception staff,who will assist with conventional check-in procedures for guests unwilling to have their faces scanned and want to use electronic key cards.
12. What does the underlined word“eliminates”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Removes. B. Meets.
C. Limits. D. Increases.
13. Why does Alibaba build the FlyZoo?
A. To cut the cost of consumers.
B. To compete with other hotels.
C. To experiment its artificial intelligence.
D. To make sure of the safety of guests.
14. What distinctive feature does the FlyZoo have?
A. It doesn’t need waiter sand cooks in the restaurant.
B. Its robots can mix cocktails and take food to the guests.
C. Guests can enter the room quickly without scanning.
D. Voice command technology meets all needs of guests.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Conventional things must be abolished.
B. Artificial intelligence has many advantages.
C. Personal information of guests is confidential.
D. Humans cannot be replaced completely.
