【題目】根據短文內容的理解,選擇正確答案。 The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷縮) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期節(jié)目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
(1)What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?
A.He got lost.
B.He broke his skis.
C.He hurt his eyes
D.He caught a cold.
(2)How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
A.He found a shelter.
B.He lighted some branches.
C.He kept on skiing.
D.He built a snow cave.
(3)On Tuesday, Nicholas ______.
A.returned to his shelter safely
B.was saved by a searcher

B.watched Grylls' TV program regularly
C.created some tips for survival
D.was very hard-working
【答案】
(1)A
(2)D
(3)B
(4)A
【解析】本文講的是一個小男孩在暴風雪中迷路, 他不畏艱難, 利用在電視中學到的野外生存知識逃脫困境的故事。
(1) 細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone!"可知, Nicholas迷路了。故選A。
(2) 細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段Nicholas built a snow cave.和第四段to stay as warm as he could可知, Nicholas保持溫暖的方式是建了一個雪洞。故選D。
(3) 細節(jié)理解題。根據第六段中On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.可知, 星期二的時候, Nicholas被一名志愿搜索者救了。故選B。
(4) 推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.可知, Grylls這個人想表達一個小男孩在如此困難的情況下成功逃生是難能可貴的, A選項正好能表達此意思。故選A。

【題目】根據短文內容的理解,選擇正確答案。 We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.
The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a $10,000 prize, a $20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.
Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms(微生物).If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.
With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(調制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth.Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months.Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control.Sure enough, the plastic exposed(暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.
The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.
"Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me.One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags.The answer: not much.So I decided to do something myself." Said Daniel Burd.
(1)Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because ________.
A.he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time
B.he contributed much to environmental protection
C.he found a new kind of microorganism
D.he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way
(2)Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ________.
A.make the live bacteria work better
B.know which bacteria worked faster
C.test how effective his method was
D.control the temperature in the process
(3)Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ________.
A.plastics can get hot easily
B.microbes can produce heat themselves
C.much carbon dioxide is produced
D.the temperature can be controlled
(4)Daniel Burd got his idea from ________.
A.his school textbook
B.the failure of researchers
C.his everyday work
D.the practice of other people

【題目】根據短文內容的理解,選擇正確答案。 For hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龜) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龜) down to the water's edge lest (for fear that) they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you'd think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct (die out).
But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from "threatened" to "endangered"— meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.
Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. "The threat is from commercial fishing," says Griffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and longline fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.
Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龍) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.
(1)We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A.human activities have changed the way turtles survive
B.efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out
C.government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles' extinction
D.marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles' reproduction
(2)What does the author mean by "Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness" (Line 1, Para. 2)?
A.Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.
B.Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.
C.The course of nature will not be changed by human interference.
D.The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection.
(3)What constitutes a major threat to the survival of turtles according to Elizabeth Griffin?
A.Their inadequate food supply.
B.Unregulated commercial fishing.
C.Their lower reproductively ability.
D.Contamination(pollution) of sea water.
(4)How does global warming affect the survival of turtles?
A.It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.
B.The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.
C.The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.
D.It takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.

Ways to sleep smarter
Studies show that poor sleep influences people to make good decisions, concentrate on tasks or even manage a friendly mood(情緒) at work. Today we've got our top favorite sleep tips and facts.
Set a regular bedtime
Choose a time when you normally feel tired. Try not to break this routine(慣例) on weekends when you will probably stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, make the change gradually, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day.

Exercising provides lots of good health benefits(好處). A good night's sleep is one of them. But make sure you exercise in the morning or afternoon. The National Sleep Foundation reports that exercise in the morning or afternoon can help deepen sleep. However, those who worked out in the evening hours saw little or no improvement in their sleep.

Parents should help their children understand money. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1 The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收銀員). When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2 Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, — You have enough toy trucks for now. Or, if the request is for many different things, say, — You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.
3
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (無商標產品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decisions.
B. The value of money.
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
