flying rats.And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings.But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,”says Andrea Lee,who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth.“People dont realize how bad it is,and how it actually affects their health.”Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year.Lee says,citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year.If people were better informed about the pollution they re breathing,she says,they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby,on a windy hill inLondons Regents Park,an experiment is underway that could helpthe first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol.It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy,the director for DigitasLBi,a marketing firm,won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter.Duquesnoy,fromFrance,chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically,I realized how important the problem was,”he says.“But also I realized that most of the people around me didnt know anything about it.”Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution,while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”,he wondered,“how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?”Drones were his first thought.But its illegal to fly them overLondon.“But pigeons can fly aboveLondon,right?”he says.“They liveactually,they are Londoners as well.So,yeah,I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps.And we can use not just street pigeons,but racing pigeons,because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons.The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the citys air.4.What can we infer aboutLondons

air inLondon.B.Londons dirty secret.C.Londons new pollution fighter.D.Causes of air pollution inLondon.C Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay(蛀牙)?However,it turns out that chocolate can be moresalutaryto your teeth than you might expect.Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay,as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.Chocolate offers protection like fluoride,a main ingredient in most household toothpastes.Not only does chocolate protect our teeth,but it can do so very effectively.Studies show that chocolate has compounds that provide strong protection for teeth.One of the compounds in chocolate,CBH,is shown to protect even more effectively than fluoride.Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth.This is why eating foods with high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay.The compounds in chocolate,however,are anti-bacteria and can fight against bacteria in your mouth.The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel(牙釉质),andprotects against tooth decay.Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth?It depends on the types of chocolate that you like.The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa beans.Of course,this option is not very appealing to;most people.A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate with little sugar content,ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving.For other types of chocolate with higher sugar content,the effect will be lessened.However,because of the protective compounds,it is still better for your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.8.The word“salutary”in paragraph 1 means?A.Beneficial.B.Harmful.C.Familiar.D.Useless.9.What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?A.It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.B.It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.C.It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.D.It may soon replace most household toothpastes.10.How does chocolate fight tooth decay?A.By breaking down acids.B.By building up compounds.C.By fixing up tooth enamel.D.By fighting against bacteria.11.Whats the main idea of the text?A.Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.B.Chocolate protects against tooth decay.C.Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.D.Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.D A PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying.29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters from scholarships,academic journals,and conferences then folded each one into a fan.She connected them in rows,and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it.The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed,she said.A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way.Caitlins adviser,Julie Libarkin,a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity,also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students.Libarkin believes its important for students to get into habit of applying for things,and to get used to the feeling of rejection,so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way.If a student doesnt get the grant or the spot in the academic journal,thats okay.Theyll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin?Her rejections over the years have led to great things:Since her doctorate,shes won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently,shes a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.As for what the future holds?Im prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way,she joked heartily,Maybe Ill make a longer skirt.12.What can we learn about Caitlin Kirbys rejection letters?A.She received 17 rejections in total.B.29 of her rejections were from journals.C.The rejections were connected into a fan.D.She made some rejection letters into a skirt.13.What is Julie Libarkins attitude towards Caitlins action?A.Favorable.B.Ambiguous.C.Skeptical.D.Opposed.14.Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A.Creative and considerate.B.Caring and determined.C.Optimistic and humorous.D.Generous and intelligent.15.Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A.Hard work pays off.B.Education is the entrance to success.C.Self-respect earns more respect.D.One needs to normalize failures.第二节（共 5
