Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could

do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it?

Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.

●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would,

driving to and from work in one day.

● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).

● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while

eating up some of that evil CO2.

● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you\'re supporting your local

farmers.

● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by

simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.

● Don\'t run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.

● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.

● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save

some money and some energy.

1. If you don\'t want to create more CO2, you may_______.

A. turn off your computer or open the curtains

B. turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpool

C. make a garden or open the curtains

D. use rechargeable batteries or make a garden

2. Which of the following can best describe the function of the first paragraph?

A. Main body. B. Argument.

C. Lead - in. D. Conclusion.

3. The main idea of the passage is about________.

Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to5℃on these hot summer days?

Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to

keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable

and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.

Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of

Science and Technology in China, look a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile dial can

absorb body heat and re-emit its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the

objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means

that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a

mirror.

Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this

previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new

fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also

need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.

Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that

are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs

by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is

basically the same as theirs,” old Yaoguang said.

So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient

because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be corning to an end!

4. What is the purpose of the new invention?

A. To warm up people\'s body. B. To cool people off in hot weather.

C. To detect the wearers\' temperature. D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.

5. How does the special product work?

A. By turning sunlight into energy. B. By sending out absorbed heat.

C. By keeping heat out completely. D. By using light color1 s to reflect sunlight.

6. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. The invention needs further testing. B. The previous studies lack evidence.

C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect. D. The new fabric applies to various situations.

7. The invention of the T-shirt may hean example of ________.

A. barking up the wrong tree B. robbing Peter to pay Paul

C. killing two birds with one stone D. pulling the cart before the horse

C

If you\'ve ever had a dog, you know just howdeep a connection you can develop with “man\'s best friend”. But

a dog\'s life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go

through the heart?breaking moment when their loving pet passes away.

Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam

Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US

customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business

toUKdog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.

To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.

Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from

the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the

following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around￡63, if you can\'t afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory andaccess it at a later date.

However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of

the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small

differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian (斑点狗) clone will be different, for example” Insung

Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.

Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”. Apart from genes, personality

is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies

simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, told The Telegraph.

Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after od, a dog

owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain

of letting go.”

8. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?

A. Making copies of pet dogs.

B. Giving pet dogs identical twins

C. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.

g dog owners love their dogs more.

9. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?

a. An egg is taken from another dog.

b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.

c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.

d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.

e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.

A.a→d→b→e→c. B. a→e→b→d→c

C. b→a→d→e→c. D. b→a→e→d→c.

10. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?

A. It has not been put into practice until recently.

B. It is very popular among US andUKpet owners.

C. It might not give the owners an exactlysame dog.

D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.

11. What doesKirkwoodthink of dog cloning?

A. He disagrees with it. B. He supports it.

C. He is curious about it. D. He thinks it unbelievable.

D

When you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the

majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.

However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly

found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家)

first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui

Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.

Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused

confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.

However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport

known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the

time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and

slower speed.

Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court

loved to play donkey polo.”

At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific

purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried

with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her

tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her

tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science

Magazine.

Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see

them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.

12. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?

A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses. B. They are stubborn and not so capable.

C. They were necessary in ancient sports. D. They were a sign of high social status.

13. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?

A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.

B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.

C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.

D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.

14. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?

A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.

B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.

C. Lvju was popular among common people.

D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.

15. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.

A. she intended to use them for transport after death

B. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after death

C. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after death

D. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignity

We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the

quantity and the quality of our sleep?____16____

Let’s start with regularity.____17____Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter

melatonin（褪黑素）. In the last hour before bed, try to stay away from all of those computer screens and

phones.____19____You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel.

you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes_____20_____And you can go and do something

else. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy. And in that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that

your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep.
