I looked and saw what they saw. Five wasps (黄蜂) had started to build a nest (巢) around their gas cap. My eyes widened. I shared the la
18、dies fear. Wasps had never been friends of mine. Several times they had attacked me while I was working in my backyard giving me stings (叮咬) each time I ran over their ground nests. They are the reason I never work in shorts anymore. The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy. A friend
19、 of mine and me were running and playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the wasps while we ran away screaming. I ran to my Mom with tears in my eyes. She immediately ran a cold ba

25、pped up to rescue the poor animals from any locals with a taste for their meat. Through the years, biologists have seen a drop in the sea turtle population in Papua New Guinea. Until today, the sea turtles are under threat from locals who eat their eggs and meat. Ocean pollution also plays a huge fa
26、ctor in the survival rate. In the face of climate change and human activities, scientists were able to see and understand how these two factors affect the numbers of endangered turtles. Despite all that, turtling is still legal in some countries such as Papua New Guinea, Mexico and Australia. When C
27、ulling and his colleague realized the fate of the two turtles in the food market, they did not hesitate and bought the sea turtles for $50. They also did not waste another second and drove for more than 3 miles and freed the turtles into the ocean. The most amazing thing about this story is that it
28、wasnt Cullings first time to be a hero for the turtles. He and his team have done this several times. They were able to rescue ten turtles from the food market so far, giving them another chance for life. Culling did the right thing in rescuing the two sea turtles from the food market. Imagine how m

Graceful and impressive.DThe Salton Sea in California is actually a salty inland lake. The level of salt in the lakes waterwhat sc
32、ientists call its salinityhas been increasing steadily for years because the lakes water is evaporating (蒸发) faster than it is being replaced by rainfall or rivers. If this continues, the lakes water will soon become so salty that the lake will be unable to support fish and bird populations. The lak
33、e would then become a dead zone. Fortunately, there are several ways to change this situation that is threatening the lakes health. One choice is direct removal of salt from the lakes water in special machines. Water from the lake would be forced into the machine and heated. This would cause the wat
34、er to evaporate into steam, while salt and other materials dissolved (溶解) in the water would be left behind. The steam would then be cooled down and returned to the lake as salt-free water. Gradually, the high salt levels would be reduced and the lakes overall health would be restored. Another possi
35、ble solution is to make the salt level weaker in the lake with water from the ocean. Since water in the Pacific Ocean is 20 percent less salty than water in the lake, bringing ocean water into the lake would decrease the lakes salinity. The ocean water could be delivered through pipelines or canals.
36、 Yet another solution would be to control the lakes salinity by building walls to divide the lake into several parts. In the smaller parts, salinity would be allowed to increase. However, in the main and largest part, salinity would be reduced and controlled by directing all the freshwater from smal
37、l rivers in the area to flow into that main part of the lake.12. Whats the purpose of solving the salinity of the Salton Sea?A. To improve the health of the Salton Sea.B. To support the water supply of people in California.C. To keep the environment of the Pacific Ocean.D. To do scientific researche
38、s of the Salton Sea.13. According to paragraph 2, the machines are used to .A. cool down the waterB. mix the materialsC. heat the lake waterD. divide the lake14. What can we infer from the text?A. The Pacific Ocean is more salty than water in the lake.B. Theres no conclusion of the best solution to
39、salinity.C. Heating the water would leave salt in water.D. If divided, the largest part of the lake is allowed to keep high salt level.15. Whats the main idea of the text?A. The ways to solve salinity of the Salton SeaB. The debate on solutions to salinity.C. The difficulties of solving salinity of
40、the Salton Sea.D. The reason for the increase of salinity of the Salton Sea.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many times, the small things in life, which we often ignore, are more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable._16_ In his song, Kenny Ro
