whether he would live beyond the first three minutes.He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver managed to draw his first breath by crying loudly.His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered,Let me see the child,and die.The doctor turned away from the fire,where he had been warming his hands.He gave her the child to hold.Lovingly,she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips,then stared wildly around the room,fell backand died.The doctor began to put on his coat.The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,he said.If so,give it a little milk to keep it quiet.And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse.Without clothes,under his first blanket,he could have been the child of a king or a beggar.But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes,yellow with age,he looked exactly what he wasan orphan in a workhouse,ready for a life of misery,hunger,and neglect.Oliver was sent to a special baby farm nearby.There,he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day,without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing.Mrs Mann,the old woman who looked after them,was very experienced.She knew what was good for children,and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health.She also knew what was good for herself,so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the childrens food.The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children,but they always sent the beadle,a kind of local policeman,to announce their visit the day before.So whenever the board arrived,of course,the children were always neat and clean.On Olivers ninth birthday,Mr Bumble,the beadle,came to the house to see Mrs Mann.Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate,and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.Quick!Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!she said.Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.24.According to the passage,a workhouse was where _.A.many women died unexpectedly B.workers helped each other C.the poor and homeless lived D.people were only interested in money 25.Which of

care of.D.Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.26.It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to _.A.protect the children inside from

that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish.Sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations of some species.Overfishing has made that decline worse,researchers say.Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls.In some parts of the world,such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan,the decrease is as high as 35 percent.Thats a loss of more than one in every three fish.Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010.Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions.Temperature changes.vary from one ocean site to another.But on average over that time,Earths sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.On average,that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent,the study found.About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming.However,about 4 percent of some populations increased.Thats because certain species have thrived in warmer waters.One example is a kind of black sea fish.It lives along the northeastern U.S.coast.As warming continues,these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food.That means its urgent for commercial fishing fleets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.28.What does the new study discover?A.Overfishing is to blame for fish health.B.Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.C.Seafood matters to peoples health worldwide.D.The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.29.What does the underlined word thrived in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Survived narrowly.B.Disappeared soon.C.Decreased sharply.D.Developed quickly.30.What do we know about species of fish and shellfish?A.About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.B.About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.C.About 3.2 billion species have been saved up to now.D.About 80 species have died out because of warming seas.31.From which is the text probably taken?A.A cooking guide.B.A science magazine.C.A news review.D.A health brochure.D Russia has announced that it is developing a specialized washing machine for astronauts to use in space.The announcement came from a missile,spaceship and space station manufacturer RKK.Normal washing machines require gravity to function,not to mention significant amounts of water that has to be stored somewhere and increases weight they are not suitable for space missions.This means that astronauts cannot wash their clothes and either have to.pack enough for their whole trip or rely on costly resupply missions and throw used items into space.Crewmembers taking part in long-term missions on the International Space Station often end up wearing the same garments for several continuous days and just change into new ones when they get dirty.Aside from this issue,wearing dirty clothes can be uncomfortable for the astronauts and could also provide perfect conditions for dangerous bacteria to grow and spread.RKK has previously outlined plans for a space washing machine in a Russian space industry journal paper published in 2017.In the paper,the authors estimated that 1,450 pounds of clothes are surprisingly transported to the ISS every year to cover the requirements of just three astronauts.And this quantity could increase to three tons for a two-year voyage to Mars involving six crewmembers and could increase the costs and complexity of a mission.The Russian scientists said that,instead of water,the washing machine would use the carbon dioxide produced by the astronauts breathing in the spaceship.Special technology would then turn the gas into a liquid under high pressure in order to clean the clothes.The Russian designs are not the first proposals for a space washing machine.NASA has previously made a model of a low-power,low-water washing device which was designed to work in the microgravity of low-Earth orbit or that of the moon or Mars.32.Normal washing machines are not suitable in the spaceship mainly because _.A.they lead to serious space pollution B.they make some bacteria spread C.they require gravity to function D.they increase the weight of the spaceship 33.What might be the biggest advantage of the specialized washing machine?A.Helping astronauts dry their clothes.B.Having a competition against NASA.C.Making the missions cheaper and easier.D.Getting astronauts to adapt to the environment.34.Where can astronauts get the liquid for washing clothes in the spaceship?A.From the water tank in the spaceship.B.From the outer space.C.From the recycling water in the spaceship.D.From the gas carbon dioxide.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Russia is developing a space washing machine.B.A space washing machine has been used in Russia.C.NASAs made a model of a space washing machine.D.RKK transports tons of clothes to astronauts in space.第二节 共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分
