9、best way. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了华盛顿贝尔维尤的法克托利亚大道采用了可以根据交通状况实时调整信号灯时间的自适应信号灯，大大缓解了交通压力。1C代词指代题。代词that多指代上文内容。根据文章第一段最后一句，即本段主题句“Just like the traffic itself，the timing of the signals changes. ”可知，that指代信号灯时间随交通状况而变化这一情况，也就是C项“交通信号灯时间的灵活控制”。故选C项。2D推理判断题。根据题干中的Kevin Balke可定位到第四段。根据本段中的“adaptive signals ar
10、e not a cureall for jammed roadways”以及“others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference”可知，自适应信号灯不是解决交通拥堵问题的灵丹妙药，在一些拥挤不堪的城市，只有大幅减少道路上的汽车数量才会产生有意义的影响。由此可推知，凯文巴尔克认为自适应信号灯在交通拥堵严重的城市没那么有用。故选D项。3A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In Bellevue，the switch to
11、 adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. ”可知，贝尔维尤改用自适应信号灯给我们上了一课，让我们意识到乐于接受新方法的价值所在。由此可推知从贝尔维尤的成功中我们可以学到：尝试新事物是值得的。故选A项。七选五(2021年山东省潍坊市五县市联考)For many of us, nothing is better than burying our head in a good book.

Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onion
20、s. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate. In 2006，bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD)The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In

But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeepers get most of their income not fro
22、m producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of travelling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to
23、30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides. The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is
24、 not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food price. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters a
