4,1527,Abraham Ortelius is known as the inventor of the atlas(地图集).During that time,there was renewed interest in the study of classical antiquity,history,Greek,and philosophy across Western Europe.Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel,so he began collecting books,prints,paintings,wall maps,and coins from all over Europe.During one trip to Poitiers,France,Ortelius met cartographer(制图员)Gerard Mercator,who inspired him to start producing maps himself.Ortelius began his career as a map colorist for the Guild of Saint Luke in Ant-werp in 1547,and then became a map designer at the Plantin company in 1587.Orteliuss first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.First printed in 1570,it fea-tured a collection of 53 maps,all the same style and size,printed from metal plates and arranged by continent,region,and state.The atlas was soon gaining traction.It had to be re-printed 4 times in the first year of publishing.Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum atlas featured one of Orteliuss most famous maps-Typus Orbis Terrarum.The hand-colored map covered the entire world from pole to pole,revealing the shape and size of different continents.At the time the map was made much of North America was yet to be explored so naturally,large parts of the geography were merely theoretical.The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward,illustrating the inaccurate measurements of longitudes(经度)at the time.Its also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear on the map,and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.However,the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period,and represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking.It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.24.What can be inferred about Ortelius?AHe was an inspiration to Mercator.BHe was a great collector of Asian art.CHe became a map designer at age 20.DHe had a great curiosity about the world.25.What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph 3 mean?AAwareness.BInsight.CPopularity.DEvidence.26.What was a problem with Typus Orbis Terrarum?AIt just covered the European continent.BIt lacked detail and preciseness.CIt was black and white in color.DIt was poorly printed.27.What is the authors attitude toward the map?AAppreciative.BUninterested.CCritical.DWorried.Wireless sensors have many applications,but using sensors across a large area can be time-consuming and expensive.Inspired by dandelions(蒲公英),a University of Washington team has developed a tiny sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind.This system is about 30 times as heavy as a dandelion seed but can still travel up to 100 meters in the light wind from where it was released by a drone(无人机).Once on the ground,the device,which can hold at least four sensors,uses solar panels to power its onboard electronics and can share sensor data up to 60 meters away.The team published these results on March 16 in Nature.“The way dandelion seed structures work is that they have a central point and these little bristles(刺毛)sticking out to slow down their fall.We took a 2-D projection of that to create the base design for our structures,”said lead author Vikram Iyer.“As we added weight,our bristles started to bend inwards.We added an outer ring to increase the structures inflexibility,resulting in something that looks a bit like a 2-D wheel.“To keep things light,the team used solar panels.The devices landed with the solar panels facing upright 95%of the time.Their shape and structure allow them to fall like a dandelion seed.Without a battery,however,the sensors stop working after the sun goes down and need energy to get started in the morning.The team designed the electronics to include a capacitor that can store some charge overnight.Since the devices are going to be spread,theres a risk of them being mistaken for actual seeds by animals.Theres also another issue.Right now,these sensors arent designed to break down.Even though theyre tiny,long-term use of enough of them would create litter.While these tiny,solar-powered,dandelion seed-like sensors still have to undergo some testing and improvement,they represent a new way to gather environmental data.28.What do we know about the device?AIt consists of four sensors.BIt is powered by solar panels.CIt weighs about as much as a seed.DIt can be carried as far as 60 meters by the wind.29.What did the team do to make the device difficult to bend?AThey improved its weight.BThey gave it a central point.CThey added a lot of bristles to it.DThey designed a ring structure for it.30.Which of the following is one challenge facing the device?AIt cant share sensor data accurately.BIt cant land with its solar panels facing upright.CIt may bring harm to wildlife and the environment.DIt may stop its capacitor from working during the night.31.What is the best title for the text?ASensor-carrying devices benefit dandelions BBattery-free tiny capacitors work in a device CDandelion-inspired sensors float in the wind DDandelion-like sensors transform dandelion seeds Silkworms(蚕)were first brought from Asia to the ancient city of Byzantium around A.D.550.It was two men who presented some silkworm eggs from China to Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in Constantinople,where he created a fruitful silk industry.Silkworms reached Italy through Sicily in the 12th century,and by the 13th century,silkworm farming had moved north to the Po River Valley.By the 16th century,silkworm farming had been introduced to the Como area.Since silkworms require a constant,mild temperature,entire sections of farmhouses were turned over to them and whole families would often join in the work,adding fuel round the clock to fires to maintain the proper warmth.“Some even gave the worms the house and slept outside with the animals,”says Ester Geraci,an official at Comos Educational Silk Museum.The process began with the 10-to 14-day incubation(孵化)of silkworm eggs.According to the museum,keeping the tiny,delicate eggs at just the right temperature was the task of the women.Once hatched,the worms,only about one millimeter long,had to be fed night and day.From a birth weight of only half a milligram,they would grow 10,000-fold to a final weight of around five grams and a length of 8 to 9 centimeters in just 30 days.Then,in the final three days of their youth stage,the worms would start to make their cocoons(茧)out of one continuous thin silk-up to 1,200 meters long-which they produced from near their mouths.After about a week,the cocoons were placed briefly in a hot,dry place to kill the adult insects inside.These cocoons were then put in hot water to facilitate the difficult and boring task of obtaining the silk.The minute end of the cocoons silk had to be located and placed onto a round object,which then unwound it from the water-warmed cocoon.The silk was then cleaned and made into fabric.32.Which can best describe silkworm farming outside China?AIt was a short-term investment.BIt benefitted fruit growers.CIt upset local emperors.DIt was a success story.33.What is stressed in the second paragraph?ARaising silkworms was a backbreaking job.BSilkworms like living in a cool environment.CRaising silkworms in farmhouses was common.DSilkworms living with other insects grow healthy.34.What can be learned about young silkworms?AThey produce silk 3 days after being hatched.BThey gain weight quickly in about a month.CThey grow to 8 to 9 centimeters in two weeks.DThey need one week to come out of their eggs.35.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo explain how silkworms reached Italy.BTo encourage people to raise silkworms.CTo introduce the farming of silkworms.DTo show the life cycle of silkworms.五、七选五 How to Plan the Graduation Trip Graduation is around the corner,and so is the trip of your

volunteers arent just helping the communities they 42 .They actually experience a boost in their mental health.43 with people who dont volunteer,people who volunteer are more 44 with their lives and rate their overall health as better.Also people who volunteer more frequently experience greater 45 :Those who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than those who volunteered 46 or not at all.The researchers also found that people who started to volunteer became happier over time.While its 47 that happier people spend more time volunteering,studies suggest that you dont need to already 48 happy to benefit from it.In fact,some research suggests that people who 49 with lower levels of wellbeing may even get a bigger boost from volunteering.Why does volunteering 50 mental health?A combination of 51 is likely at play.Volunteering appears to be naturally 52 -when we help others,we tend to experience a“warm glow(喜悦)”.Volunteer
