Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study a bird, which is dying out, the Atlantic Coast piping plover.The piping plover is a shorebird that lives along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development of their beach habitats （栖息、地）,threatens the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data.Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of thedistance across the U. S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey's web-based “iCoast Did the Coast Change? invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing aerial （从飞机上的）photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts （影响） worldwide.1、What can we know about the piping plover?A.

Protecting Endangered ShorebirdsC. iPlover, a Tool for Training Field StaffB Research on smartphones.D. Progress in technology.B. Rob Thieler, a Creative ScientistD. Differences Between iPlover and iCoastText 3Hadi Partovi, founder of Code.org believes every student should learn the basics of computer science just like they domath, physics, or biology, regardless of what they want to do in the future.The expert says knowledge about the subject is important to understand how the world around us works and compares it to learning about photosynthesis（光合作用），even though not every student is going to be a botanist.To spark students9interest, he created the"Hour of Code, “which introduces the world of computing to anyone, from ages 14 to 104, in a fun, interactive manner.Observed annually during Computer Science Week, the event now draws tens of millions of kids from over 180 countries.The"Hour of Code”, which can be scheduled anytime during Computer Science Week, begins with an introductory video on computer science.Participants can then select from hundreds of fun assignments that are sorted by both grade level and coding experience.Though each project is designed to last just sixty minutes, beginners can deal with as many challenges as they desire.To help introduce computer science in classrooms on a more regular basis, Code.org has also developed a catalog of online courses that can be incorporated（纳入）in a schooPs regular curriculum.Since the nonprofit began offering the courses in 2013, over 704, 000 teachers have signed up to teach introductory computer science to over 22 million students worldwide.Thanks to the efforts of the pioneer, about 40 percent of US schools now offer computer science as a subject.The numbers are even higher-an impressive 70 percent-if after-school offerings such as robotics clubs are included.Even more encouraging, eight years ago, just 19, 390 students took an Advanced Placement Computer Science exam.By the spring of 2017, the number had jumped 415 percent to 99, 868.1、Why did Hardi Partovi create the"Hour of Code"?A. To train computer scientists for the future.B. To introduce the world of computing to teachers.C. To add a programme to Computer Science Week.D.

The development of many US schools.Text 4On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication severe weather was on its waythe sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. Suddenly, the bones of the house shook, the power went out, and the wind began to roar through blown-out windows. We had three flights of steps to navigate to the relative safety of the first floor, where a closet fixed underneath a brick staircase might be the firmest place to wait things out. Everything around rattling, we struggled forward, uncertain whether we would make it.As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Shards of glass flew everywhere. A three-foot-long tree branch whipped, missing us by inches.By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but the wind kept him outside. I grasped his arm as the tornado constantly sucked the door open and tried to bring him with it. My knees and scalp were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay. Then everything stopped. In those first quiet moments, I couldn't believe it was over.The storm lasted four minutes. Four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.1、The author and her husband were caught unprepared by the tornado mainly because.A. they were watching the presidential debate on the TVB. they missed the first alert from the TVC. no signs indicated the disasterD. the government didn't warn them of the severe weather2、The author didn't feel the pain in her keens and scalp because.A , she lost her consciousness B. she was concerned about her husband's safetyC. she got to the closet safe and sound D. she was glad that the tornado was over 3、How did we feel after the tornado?A. blessed B. depressedC. annoyed D. shocked4、Which word best describe the experience?A. interesting B. adventurousC. unpredictable D. educationalPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 45).
