I am Fionn Ferreira, an Irish teenager. I am very delighted to have won $50,000 for my project. My project came about as I was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock, that at present no filtration (过滤) for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centres, so I started looking for a solution.

Seeing that there was none, I decided to study further, finally finding a way to use the ferrofluid (铁磁流体), a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets(磁铁). After over 1,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.


I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my major inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a distant place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to conduct tests and experiments.

Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology (纳米技术), I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.

One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to present my work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honour to me as this is a recognition of my project and ideas. Also, winning the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in dealing with microplastics in our oceans worldwide.

24．What do we know about Fionn?


A．He is studying at college.
B．He lives by the sea.
C．He works for a science fair.
D．He was born in America.
25．Why did Fionn set up the project?


A．To purify the polluted air.
B．To recycle microplastics in cities.
C．To collect plastic wastes in water.
D．To remove microplastics from water.
26．Which of the following can be used to describe Fionn?

A．Competitive.
B．Creative.
C．Optimistic.
D．Humorous.
27．What is Fionn looking forward to?


A．Seeing his project applied widely in real life.


B．Going to the science fair to get another prize.

C．Attracting more attention to his project.

D．Getting his project acknowledged by the judges.

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).

The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.

Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing

development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).

But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented （记录） a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.

The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated （计算）how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).

Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

28.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.

D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.

29.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?

A. Ecological studies of forests.

B. Banning woodcutting.

C. Limiting housing development.

D. Fire control measures.

30.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?

A. Inadequate snowmelt. B.A longer dry season.

C.A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.

31.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?

B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests? D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
D

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.


5

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation ( 植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.

As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

32.What is the text mainly about?

A. Wildlife research in the United States.

B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.

C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.

D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

33.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Tested. B. Separated. C. Forced out. D. Tracked down.

34.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the park’s income.

C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals.

35.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.

get started. But what’s next? The beginning of college life can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adapt to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.

To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. ___36___ It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.

“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.

Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and handed out the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.

Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.

“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”

When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found

9

out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.

As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.

Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it? He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.

This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.

注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Para 1: He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all.

买新课本要花很多钱。试着买二手课本——这是省钱的好方法，同时也能达到这个目的。由此可知，本句是在推荐等到上课的时候再买需要的数。D 项中的 Save pennies 与下文中的“a good way to save money”相对应。故 D 选项“为了省下买书的钱，等到上课的时候再买”符合上下文语境，故选 D。

【38 题详解】根据上文 Never look on college life as endless parties and social activities. There is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating.

可知不要把大学生活看成是无休止的聚会和社交活动。如果你真的想毕业的话，大学还有很多东西值得你去学习。由此可知，要想有美好的大学经历你就要平衡学习和娱乐。fun 与上文中的“parties and social activities”相呼应。故

G 选项“有一个好的大学经历就是平衡学习和乐趣”符合上下文语境。

【39 题详解】根据后文 Find a quiet area, like the library, to study.可知找一个安静的地方，比如图书馆，来学习。由此可知，本句是在说明学习的地点。故

42. 答案：B 解析：根据上文中的“facing the global economic crisis”可知，作者和他的同事们已经意识到(realized)公司赢利不如以往。

43. 答案：C 解析：参见上题解析。profitable “有利润的，赢利的”，符合题意。 responsible “负责的”； influential “有影响力的”； attractive “有吸引力的”。

44. 答案：D 解析：有一天，作者到办公室后被通知他被解雇了。warn “提醒注意，使警惕”； remind “提醒，使想起”；convince “使相信”； inform “通知，告知”。

45. 答案：A 解析：作者几乎没有做什么来改变这种局面，除了联系一下以前

工作时认识的作家。except “除……之外”，符合题意。

46. 答案：D 解析：根据上文的“writers”和尾段中的“who wanted to have his novel translated into English quickly”可知，作者做的是翻译工作。translator “译者”，符合语境。editor “编辑”； agent “代理人，经纪人”； operator “经营者”。

47. 答案：A 解析：上文提到作者被解雇，其后的一周作者几乎不做任何事情

来改变自己失业的现状，由此可推知，他处于一种低沉、沮丧的状态，故选 depressed “沮丧的，消沉的”。
