Japan.Australia The fact that the summer Olympics fall during Australias winter season is worth keeping in mind for two reasons:it makes traveling there cheaper,and its still not too cold.As far as the Olympics are concerned,there will be no shortage of opportunities to watch the Games in between your various explorations of the country and its limitless activities.Thailand Thailand is a breathtaking place 10 spend some time during any summer,and provides a perfect setting for Olympie viewing:You can go scuba diving one morning before watching sports all afternoon,or simply duck out for world-famous street food in between events.But Thai sports fans may also be taking extra interest in the Olympics these days.United States The U.S.is likely to be as interested in the Olympics as any other nation,given is collection of athletes who will be taking center stage.You can rest assured it wont be difficult to watch the Games no matter where youre visiting specifically.This leaves you with all sorts of fun options.You can visit a luxury ski resort town like Aspen,which turns into a gorgeous hiking destination in the summer.Great Britain Not unlike the U,s.Britain will make for a fun place to spend the 2020 Olympics because theres a great deal of national interest in a number of different sports,and the local athletes are expected to be competitive.Summer can also be a good time to be in Britain in general,with ly mild temperatures allowing for full exploration of the country.That means you can stay in the beautiful Lake District if you like,hiking or kayaking when youre not watching the Games.1.What is special about Australia as a destination in an Olympic summer?A.Its season.B.Its activities.C.Its sports.D.Its scenery,2.Which country can you go to if you are a

temperature.B.They are both interested in the Games.CThey both own lots of sports centers.D.They are both English-speaking countries.B Brown cows may not actually make chocolate milk,but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk,a team of scientists has discovered.To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed,straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）.Out of seven tested dyes,only one worked,producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes,the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk.Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth,the team,which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India,reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry&Engineering.(The researchers didnt look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms health.After all,silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water.The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process,requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways.Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps.Scientists are just starting to study this idea.However,it remains to be seen if its commercially successful.In this experiment,the Indian team tested seven dyes,which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms bodies differently.Some never made it into the worms silk at all.Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric.Only one dye,named direct acid fast red,showed up in the final,washed silk threads.By the time it made it there,it was a pleasant,light pink.4.The text is most probably a(n)_.A.science report B.tourist guide C.animal experiment D.fashion advertisement 5.Silkworms can produce pink silk because _.A.they are born pink B.they are dyed pink C.they grow in pink water D.they are fed dyed food 6.Where is the experiment carried out?A.In America.B.In India.C.In Israel.D.In China.7.How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A.One.B.Three.C.Five.D.Seven.C If you have ever been disappointed because you dont have a good gardener,the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted plant that carries on top of its head.Using light and heats sensors(传感器)the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out the daylight.If the houseplant needs more sun，the Hexa will walk into the sunlight;and if the houseplant is getting too hot,the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014.”Plants only receive an action without responding,”SunTianqi wrote in a blog post.”Whether they are being cut,bitten,burned or pulled from the earth,or when they havent received enough sunshine,water,or are too hot or cold,they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.According to Sun Tianqi,for billions of years,plants have never experienced movement of any kind,not even the simplest movement.In their whole lives,they stick to where they were born.Sun Tianqi continued,”Do they want break their own settings or have a tendency towards this?I do not know the answer,but would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants With the help of the robot,plants can experience the move”.The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale,though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model.It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants 8.What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?A.It helps people do some gardening.B.It waters the plants through dancing C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight D.It carries the potted plant with its hands 9.What does the author try to show through Paragraph 3?A.The way plants spend their whole lives B.The common way people deal with plants C.The difference between plants and humans D.The cause of making the indoor plants helper.10.What does Sun Tianqi try do using this technology?A.To develop gardening skills.B.To draw peoples attention plants C.make plants experience move D.study the living conditions of plants 11.What can be the best title for the text?A.A New Market for robots B.An Indoor Plants Helper C.An Important Development in Gardening D The Tendency of Gardening in the Future D Teens who have good,supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults,according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,said Jinho Kim,a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study.Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood.However,it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors,such as different family backgrounds,might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood.Also,most research has focused on teens relationships with their peers（同龄人）,rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further,Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study,a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood.The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）.As teens,participants answered questions,like“How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?As adults,participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s.However,when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together,only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students.This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,Kim said,“but it should be.”12.What does the underlined word“implications in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Recipes.B.Habits.C.Benefits.D.Risks.13.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Poor health in adolescence.B.Limitations of the previous research.C.Teens relationships with their peers.D.Factors affecting health in adulthood.14.What does Kims research show?A.Good adult health depends on teens good teachers.B.Good family background promises long-term adult health.C.Healthy peer relationships leads to students academic success.D.Positive student-teacher relationship helps students adult health.15.Where does this text probably come from?A.A health magazine.B.A medical report.C.A term paper.D.A family survey.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Urban Wildlife Cities are diverse ecosystems.In addition to visitors from the wild,a large number of species share our urban areas.As our cities spread,we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.Cities are

to value their winged neighbors.The bats are a tourist attraction,and they eat lots of bugs every night.There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city.The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example.The park used native plants and created open,natural spaces for wildlife.The result is a zone inBeijingwith over 160 species of birds.In many ways,the park is the opposite of a zoo._19_ If we learn to share our space,we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us._20_Our own future will be endangered too.A.They are built to protect birds.B.Our actions
