not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii s famous Pipeline big wave break,but while all others use their sight to do it,this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses.Thats because he

surfboard,Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emestos dream and become a professional surfer.So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school,where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing,while gathering the courage to take on Hawaiis board-breaking Pipeline is another.But thats exactly what Derek Rabelo set

explorers arriving in a new world.The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life.But hereon Earth,science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA,or eDNA for short.Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways.One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place.The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it.She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques.Until recently,scientists depended on snorkeling(潜水),netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world.Animal experts in Vietnamare using the eDNA to find the last,wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles.One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs.In Madagascar,it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物)diseases.Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction(灭绝)of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho.She hasalso been asked to document the spread of the New Zealandmudsnail in the state of Washington.The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expectrobots to replace field biologists anytime soon.But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.8.Compared to traditional survey techniques,eDNA is more_.A.complexB.eco-friendlyC.dangerousD.convincing9.By using eDNA,Caren Goldberg has_.A.succeeded in catching many fishesB.found the existence of golden treefrogsC.documented the spread of softshell turtlesD.confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Robots will replace scientists soon.B.Some scientists are against using eDNA.C.The old-fashioned field work may disappear.D.Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species SurveysB.Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNAC.Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of LifeD.New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions【答案】8.B 9.D 10.C 11.A【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要向读者介绍了科学界一项新的采样技术环境 DNA，利用一点空气或水识别罕见的外来入侵物种或研究生物的多样性。【8 题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently andwith less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques.可知，她认为，与传统的调查技术相比，eDNA 是一种更有效、更少破坏的获取答案的方法。由此判断出与传统的调查技术相比，eDNA 更加环保。故选 B。【9 题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction(灭绝)of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho.可知，通过使用 eDNA，卡伦戈德堡证实了爱达荷州豹蛙的消失。故选 D。【10 题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Scientists working with the technology say they do not expectrobots to replace field biologists anytime soon.But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.可知，研究这项技术的科学家们表示，他们认为机器人近期内不会取代野外生物学家。但是老式的田间作业很快就会受到影响。从最后一段我们可以推断出“老式的田间作业可能会消失。”故选 C。【11 题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中But here on Earth,science fiction is becoming reality througha new sampling technology called environmental DNA,or eDNA for short.Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.“但在地球上，通过一种名为环境 DNA(eDNA)的新采样技术，科幻小说正在变成现实。科学家可以用它来鉴定稀有物种，或者用少量的空气或水来估计鱼类的数量。”由此可知，本文最佳主题是“对物种调查来说，科幻小说变成了现实”。故选 A。DWhen you were at school,the last thing you probably wantedto do was spend your weekends going to work.There was homework to do,sport to play and fun to have.But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience.When I was a teenager I had a paper round:delivering newspapers to peoples homes.I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket:stacking shelves and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13,and many children do take up part-time jobs.Its one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage(成人仪式).Its a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thingto put on your CV(简历).Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money.Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on.A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment,but despite this,recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.So,does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work?Probably not.Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school,and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results-and a good job in the long term.However,Geoff Barton,general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders,told BBC News that Properly regulated（控制的）part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn sk
