themselves.Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year,which results in over one million deaths.Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world,so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used,and most powerful,mosquito repellent ever developed,scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils.While DEET is an effective contact repellent,many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin,and sometimes some people are sensitive to it.Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents,so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity,Dr.Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes.The first group of the new repellents act through the air.These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection,and they are called“spatial”repellents,since they act through space.These are potentially most useful in backyards,parks,and houses.The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface,such as human skin,clothing or tents;collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils.They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents:They are fully biodegradable,with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes,and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries.However,thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.4.What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A.The way mosquitoes spread disease.B.The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C.The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D.The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.5.What is a disadvantage of DEET?A.It wont be effective for long.B.It cant be applied universally.C.It causes discomfort to the users.D.It greatly harms peoples health.6.What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A.They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B.They are mainly used in the open air.C.They are more effective on human skin.D.They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.7.Whats the authors attitude to the new repellents?A.Subjective.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.C Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above.As the car drives,the map follows along in real time,alarming you to any traffic,pedestrians,animals,or other things nearby.Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream.Its like the map has come to life.This type of map isnt available yet.But it could be soon.In 2014,the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space.Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles(600 km)away,it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches(25cm)across.Peeringall the way from outer space,it can make out a smartphone held in your hand.It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road.But it cant identify your face or read the cars license plate numbers.at least not openly.According to some reports,this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images,with a resolution(分辨率)of up to around 4 inches(10cm).ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public,to prevent enemies from using them.But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible.Live,high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time.Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy.Most satellites are commercially owned,so if you have money you can buy that imagery.“It means anyone can spy on anyone,”he said.At the same time,live,detailed maps of Earths surface could be useful in amazing ways.Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out.Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations.Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act.The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think?Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earths surface?8.What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A.Seeing B.Standing C.Walking D.Hearing 9.Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A.to protect the technology.B.for the sake of safety.C.to protect the environment.D.to threat other countries.10.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A.This super-sharp map hasnt been put into market.B.Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.C.Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.D.The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.11.How is this technology used in agriculture?A.It can help improve the production of crops.B.It can help kill pests.C.It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D.It can help increase farm land.D How much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products they buy?Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions(排放物)data?Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted?Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers a way to find out Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing productsThe label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production,transportation,usage and disposal(清理),thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product In the first group of studies,the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions,although not as great a role as priceIn a second set of studies,the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stagesThe carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the products lifecycle because it is outside the consumers controlThat is,the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing processConsumers value recycling a product,but the researchers found that,overall,the consumers would preferproducers to offset(补偿)carbon emissions rather than having toaddressthe problem directly themselves Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems,and already carbon labeling is appearing on some productsWe find that participantsnot only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions,but they want detailed information on the label,the researchers explainThey suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice 12.Which of the following most affects consumers choice?A.Labels B.Price C Packaging D.Carbon footprint 13.About the carbon dioxide emissions in the products lifecycle,which stage do consumers care most?A.Usage stage B.Transportation stage C.Disposal stage D.Producing stage 14.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word address?A.Look into B.Point out C.Deal with D.Run into 15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Companies should take carbonemissions more seriously B.All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data C.Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels D.Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10
