2022 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards

A yearly contest for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year was held in London this year.The contest had 38，575 entries from around the world.Let's have a scanning of four of this year's best works.
The great prize this year belonged to Karine Aigner of the US for an incredible shot of a ball of bees.The"ball"was formed with a lot of male bees fighting to win a single female bee.The picture was taken in southern Texas.Ms Aigner says that soon after the picture was taken，a female bee flew off with one of the males.
Dmitry Kokh of Russia won the award for Urban Wildlife.His picture of polar bears in an old house was taken on an island in the Chukchi Sea，between Russia and Alaska.Mr Kokh was on a boat when he noticed polar bears walking through an area where no one had lived for years.To get the picture without disturbing the bears，he used a quiet drone（无人机）to take the picture.
Fernando Constantino Martinez Belmar of Mexico had to wait in the dark in a cave filled with bats and snakes to get the image.Rat snakes in Yucatàn hang from cracks in the ceiling of the cave，hoping to grab one of the many bats that are flying out of the cave for the night.Using a red light that wouldn't disturb the animals，Mr Martinez Belmar waited until just the right moment to take the picture.He won the Amphibian and Reptile Behavior prize.
Nick Kanakis of the US took the picture of a wood wren（鹧鸪）—a bird that spends most of its time on the ground.The bird has its ear to the ground，listening for insects to catch and eat.After spotting a bird looking for food farther away，he stayed very still to get the shot，which won the prize for Bird Behavior.

When I was a child，my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered.She backed that up with her own behavior，and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people.When she walked down the street，she spoke to everyone，whether an elderly or a child，speaking whether English or Spanish.
However，as she aged，she noticed that most people wouldn't have time for communication that's longer than a 160-character text message，much less time to develop genuine friendships that last decades.In fact，people are barely speaking to one another nowadays.As much as I hate to admit it，I have noticed it too.
My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world.It all started in 2013 when I was at University of Southern California.I met with Kerstin Zilm，a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially.I didn't know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show，but I agreed to do so.I had internalized（使内在化）my grandmother's concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself.You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired，a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin，inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college.I was grateful，but my pride didn't allow me to accept the money.
However，I didn't let the opening .Encouraged by Kerstin，I emailed Renate back，thanking her for her kindness.This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental friend-ship.From then on，Renate and I often emailed each other.And whenever I was in trouble，she was always there.She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most.Though I have never met her in person，she is one of the most important people in my life.

Software expert James Curran helped rewrite Australia's new curriculum（全部课程）for information technology subjects.He said the changes to the current curriculum could stop teenagers avoiding computing and maths subjects in high school."Kids are naturally curious，but we don't set up the curriculum in a way that awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the things they want to，and the things they have to，"Curran said."Teaching maths and computing in a new way makes a very big difference."
As more and more high school students drop out of advanced maths subjects，Dr Curran warned that computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them.Only 1，748 year-12 students enrolled（登记）in software design and development in New South Wales last year—about half the 3，300 who studied the subject 10 years ago.Enrolments in information technology have declined sharply，from 10，000 in 2001 to just 1，939 students in 2021.
"Students are not taking computing subjects at the senior level because the subject is a bit out of date，"Curran said."Computing is a subject that changes all the time and needs to be changed every few years，so I would like to see a continuous process of smaller changes and updates to it."
As schools struggle to make students stick with the subjects of information technology，engineering and maths，1，000 primary schools across Australia have signed up for a new pro-gram to get young kids interested in high-tech jobs.The program uses online lessons to show children as young as six the process of designing the Olympics logo，and how Netflix collects information to decide which movies to make.
11-year-old student Mia Lucas had fun completing a model on UX design.It is the"user experience"process that design teams use to create products."I've always been interested in creating a website or an app but didn't know the first step in doing that，" she said."The pro-gram helps me a lot."
8. What is the new curriculum supposed to be according to Curran？ ______
A. Typical. B. Controversial. C. Appealing. D. Challenging.
9. What can we know about computing subjects in Australian schools？ ______
A. They are less popular with today's teenagers.
B. They are valued negatively by many schools.
C. They are harder than advanced maths subjects.
D. They are keeping a continuous rate of updating.
10. How does the new program encourage the students to take computing subjects？ ______
A. By offering high-tech jobs to them.
B. By turning lessons into virtual ones.
C. By letting them choose subjects freely.
D. By showing applications of the subjects.
11. What can be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Australian students are deserting the computing subjects
B. A new curriculum fails to work with Australian students
C. How did an Australian student fall in love with computing？
D. Why did Australian schools stick with computing subjects？
D
Many sensing systems used in water have a problem：They rely on batteries that are often made from unsustainable materials，so such batteries will need replacing at some point.
To look for a cleaner，more long-lasting alternative，Zhonglin Wang at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Beijing，and his colleagues have created a self-charging buoy（浮标）.It uses nanogenerators（纳米发电机）to gain power from the movement of waves.
The buoy consists of an acrylic（丙烯酸的）ball about 10 centimeters across and four nanogenerators connected to a part that collects the produced charge.As the water moves back and forth through the nanogenerators，they generate around 24.5 milliwatts of power.
It is suggested that the buoy could be used to check and monitor water levels for early flood warning systems.However，there are already many effective and cheap alternatives for this task，says Wouter Buytaert at Imperial College London.Non-contact methods，such as lidar（激光雷达），are probably more suitable for sensing water levels，he explains.
"The new power generation method could prove useful for situations in which non-contact methods aren't workable，though，such as water quality sensing，" Buytaert says. "There have been devices similar to the buoys in measuring and checking long-term water quality.But if such application is combined with the function of power collecting shown here，it could be more promising，"Buytaert says.
However，if used in rivers，the buoy would possibly be damaged by rising or violently moving water，especially if they are fixed at the rapids of the flood as an early warning system."In these environments，there is often a high sand load in the river during a flood，so any sensor actually in the river is likely to get destroyed，"says Liz Stephens at the University of Reading，UK.
12. What advantage does the new buoy have？ ______
A. It is more easily operated. B. It is much greener.
C. It is more functional. D. It is lower-cost.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on？ ______
A. The inspiration of creating the buoy.
B. The practical applications of the buoy.
C. The design and working principle of the buoy.
D. The drawback and probable danger of the buoy.
14. Which word best describes Buytaert's attitude to the new buoy？ ______
A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
15. Which of the following is a potential problem of the new buoy？ ______
A. It works unstably.
B. It breaks down easily.
C. It causes a high sand load.
D. It gives unreliable test results.

38. Lucy Marlow had everything an eleven-year-old girl could possibly want except one thing：a pair of pink leather roller skates（旱冰鞋）.Unfortunately，the skates cost over ﹩ 1，700.Even though Lucy's parents were very indulgent（纵容的），they thought it was too much for a toy. "It's not a toy!" Lucy cried. "It's transportation!" Lucy's parents gave in and promised that she could have them only if she had straight A on her report card.
Soon at the end of the term，Lucy proudly presented her parents with the straight—A report card they'ddemanded，and the next weekend，Lucy was whizzing（飞速行驶）around the neighborhood faster than anyone else with her new skates.
Then one day when Lucy went to school，she was surprised to discover there was a new girl in her classShe was sitting at the desk next to Lucy in geography and she looked very friendly.
"Hi!I'm Lucy!" Lucy whispered， "Want to go roller skating after school？"
"Hi!Mi name is Heather.But I'm afraid I can't!" Heather said.
"Listen，if you don't have skates，you can use my old ones， "Lucy said." I have a brand new pair..."
The bell rang，Heather reached to pick up a pair of crutches（拐杖）under the desk and got up.Lucy was shocked to find one of her legs was missing above the knee.She gasped， "Oh，I'm so sorry!What happened？" Heather shrugged， "It was a car accident."
That night，Lucy couldn't sleep.She got up and turned on her laptop.There were all kinds of prosthetic limbs（假肢）for kids.Lucy wondered why Heather didn't have one.
The next day，over lunch，Lucy asked Heather， "So，how come you don't have a prosthetic limb？" Heather blushed. "I had one three years ago，after the accident，" she explained， "But I outgrew it.My dadlost his job so we don't have insurance anymore.We've contacted a non-profit that helps kids like me，butI'm on a waiting list..."

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段To look for a cleaner，more long-lasting alternative，Zhonglin Wang at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Beijing，and his colleagues have created a self-charging buoy（为了寻找一种更清洁、更持久的替代品，北京中国科学院的王忠林和他的同事们创造了一种自动充电浮标）中的"cleaner"和"self-charging"可知，这个新型浮标更清洁环保。故答案为B。
（2）段落大意题。根据第三段The buoy consists of an acrylic（丙烯酸的）ball about 10 centimeters across and four nanogenerators connected to a part that collects the produced charge.As the water moves back and forth through the nanogenerators，they generate around 24.5 milliwatts of power（浮标由一个直径约10厘米的丙烯酸球和四个纳米发电机组成，这些发电机连接到收集产生的电荷的部分。当水通过纳米发电机来回移动时，它们产生约24.5毫瓦的功率）可知，本段主要介绍了这个自动充电浮标的结构、工作原理等，即介绍了它的设计。故答案为C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第五段There have been devices similar to the buoys in measuring and checking long-term water quality.But if such application is combined with the function of power collecting shown here，it could be more promising（在测量和检查长期水质方面，已经有类似于浮标的装置。但如果这种应用与这里所示的电力收集功能相结合，它可能会更有前景）可知，Buytaert认为这种新型浮标在洪水预报警报系统中没有太大的应用价值，但是肯定了它在水质监测方面的潜力。由此可知，他对这种新型浮标的态度是客观的。故答案为A。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句However，if used in rivers，the buoy would possibly be damaged by rising or violently moving water，especially if they are fixed at the rapids of the flood as an early warning system（然而，如果在河流中使用，浮标可能会被上涨或剧烈移动的水损坏，特别是如果浮标固定在洪水的急流处作为预警系统）可知，如果在河流中使用这种浮标，它可能会被剧烈流动的水破坏而发生故障。故答案为B。
本文是说明文。科学家发明了一种利用海浪运动产生的能量实现自动充电的浮标，它可用于洪水预报警报系统或水质监测。

【小题5】have been pictured
【小题6】responsible
【小题7】which
【小题8】as
【小题9】usually
【小题10】standing
【解析】（1）考查形容词性物主代词。句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。放在名词前面，所以用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
（2）考查可数名词的复数。句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。此处应填名词，与空前traditions和空后的 practices保持一致，作介词through后的宾语。account意为"描述"，是可数名词，故此处应该用其复数形式。故填accounts。
（3）考查过去分词。句意：辛巴人在今天的纳米比亚北部，是一个非洲部落，大约有5万人。空处是名词population的前置定语。estimate和被修饰词population是动宾关系，故此处应该用过去分词作定语，estimated也可以看作形容词化的过去分词，表示"估计的，预计的"。故填estimated。
（4）考查冠词。句意：辛巴部落通常被认为是纳米比亚最后的游牧民族。根据下文中的last可知，此处应该用定冠词，the last表示"最后的"修饰名词people。故填the。
（5）考查动词的时态和语态。句意：辛巴妇女以红粘土的皮肤和头发而闻名，到目前为止，她们一直被描绘为非洲部落的象征形象。根据时间状语up to now可知，应填现在完成时，与and后的谓语（have been）described保持一致。动词 picture"想象，描绘"和主语the Himba women之间是被动关系，此处应该用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been pictured。
（6）考查形容词。句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了"非洲红色人民"的称号。句子的主干是Otjize is        for their skins' distinct red colour。应填形容词作表语。be responsible for意为"为……负责，是……的原因"。故填responsible。
（7）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了"非洲红色人民"的称号。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是是前面的一句话（整个主句），在从句中作主语，用which引导该从句。故填which。
（8）考查介词。句意：Otjize由多种物质混合而成，为他们的皮肤提供了深红色，被认为是辛巴人理想的美丽标准。be regarded as…是固定短语，意为"被认为是……"。故填as。
（9）考查副词。句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。根据下文中的动词 holds可知，此处应该用副词修饰动词。故填usually。
（10）考查现在分词。句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。本句有谓语动词holds，所以空处填非谓语动词。stand和逻辑主语Ojize是主谓关系，故此处应该用现在分词，作伴随状语。故填standing。
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了被代代相传、保护下来的文化---辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏。
