10、 But shes certain its a lot.Deline-Ray is founder of Wildlife Rescue Nests. She designs and makes strong, soft nests, which she donates to wildlife rescue groups to use as little recovery nests for sick and injured animals. She also shares her patterns for others to copy. Deline-Ray began making her
11、 nests in 2013, while she was recovering from a broken hand, and spending too much time online.One thing led to another - as happens on the internet - and she discovered a woman who was making similar nests for U.S.-based wildlife groups, as an alternative to the hard boxes used to contain the anima
12、ls these groups care for.I thought it was such a wonderful idea and went searching to see whether there was anything like it set up for our wildlife rescues in Canada, she says. To my surprise there wasnt. So I started contacting wildlife rescues and they agreed to try some out. Some modifications w
13、ere made to already-existing patterns. And then, like a little bird taking its first flight, the nests went out into the world.These days, Deline-Ray sends nests - always for free - to 60-some wildlife rescue groups, where injured birds and rabbits nestle inside the soft spaces while they are recove
14、ring.Her future plans include making more nests, organizing new volunteer knitters and helping as many wildlife rescuers as possible take care of their animals in this charming way.“I have no formal training with wildlife, just a great love for it.” Deline-Ray says. “I love making the nests because
15、I have a great admiration for all the amazing work the wildlife rescues do. I feel like I have a part in giving back to wildlife in a small way.”21. According to the passage, we can know Katie Deline-Ray _.A. admires what the wildlife rescues doB. has designed the first nest pattern in the worldC. k
16、nits nests which are only intended for injured baby birdsD. keeps a record of the nests she has made over the years22. What can we infer from the passage?A. People must receive some training in order to help wildlife.B. Katie Deline-Ray set up Wildlife Rescue Nests based in Canada.C. Deline-Ray was
17、once encouraged by an American woman.D. The nests Deline-Ray made were sold all over the world.23. What do you think of Katie Deline-Ray?A. Modest. B. Caring. C. Cautious. D. Honest.24. What can be the best title?A. Useful Man-Made Nests. B. A Wildlife Protection Program. C.A Crazy Nest Lady D. Bird
18、s Need More Rescue Nests.BNew data from NASAs Curiosity rover indicate Mars Crater once held an enormous lake. This discovery suggests that the red planet may have been much wetter than scientists thought and raises the possibility that the planet was once habitable.“The size of the lake and the len
19、gth of time and series that water was showing up implies that there may have been sufficient time for life to develop.” NASAs Mars Exploration Program scientist Dr. Michael Meyer told Reuters.Curiosity collected the new data on its five-mile drive to Mount Sharp, the prime destination on its mission
20、 to study Mars climate and geography. The rover landed in Gale Crater in August 2012.After reaching Mount Sharp in September, the rover spent two months studying rocks at the base of the three-mile-high mountain, discovering fine layers of mudstone-which tend to collect at the bottom of lakes. This
21、shows how a mountain inside a Mars Gale Crater might have formed.“If our assumption for Mount Sharp holds up, it challenges the idea that warm and wet conditions were passing, local, or only underground on Mars,” Dr. Ashwin Vasavada said in a written statement. “A more radical explanation is that Ma
22、rs ancient, thicker atmosphere raised temperatures above freezing globally, but so far we dont know how the atmosphere did that.”Vasavada said Curiosity will continue to study changes in the rock formation as it climbs Mount Sharp in the next few months, which should test the teams hypothesis.“Well
23、also look at the chemistry of the rocks to see if the water that was once present wouldve been of the kind that could support microbial life, if it ever was present,” he said in a video released by NASA. “With only 30 vertical feet of the mountain behind us, were sure theres a lot more to discover.”
24、25. What does this text mainly talk about?A. How scientists explored Mars.B. The ways Curiosity used to explore Mount Sharp.C. Some data about Gale Crater.D. The discovery of Curiosity rover on Mars.26. The discovery of the lake proves that _.A. early Mars was ripe and ready for lifeB. the climate o
25、n early Mars was hotC. life once existed on MarsD. humans can live on Mars27. What is the height of Mount Sharp?A. 5 miles B. 30 miles C. 3 miles D. 22miles28. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science fiction. B. A science report.C. An environment report. D. An official announcement.CI w

What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great, personalized education at an affordable price.This future may not always include the lecture halls, dormitories,

31、classes online.Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online. “Ive taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people.

I do hope my suggestions can be of help to you.Yours, LiHua
