9、ed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m.,
10、all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.Most cottages on thi

12、s, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldnt hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying.

16、perate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed insid
17、e, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a
18、 buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “Weve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a

24、d to a modern observation - our days are longer than they used to be. Not that youd noticed: The new research in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A shows that it takes the Earth a tiny bit longer these days to complete a single rotation (转动) than it did millions of years ago. Its the kind of stu
25、ff thats measured in milliseconds per century, but those milliseconds add up. Over the last thousands of years, theyd totaled several hours, which the Los Angeles Times puts this way, “If humanity had been measuring time with an atomic clock that started running back in 700 BC, today that clock woul
26、d read 7 p.m. when the sun is directly overhead rather than noon. The atomic clock wont lose a second for 15 billion years.” Maybe more remarkable is that the work is the result of a tireless 40-year research into ancient timekeeping records dating back 2,700 years. Scientists led by Richard Stephen
27、son of the UKs Durham University have been studying Babylonian clay tablets, Chinese observations made through the use of water clocks, and Arab astronomical records that tracked solar and lunar eclipses(日/月食). “The most astonishing thing about this study is the fact that we have this information at
28、 all,” said a geographer not involved in the study. Researchers are still hoping to find observations from the Incas and the Maya, and to fill in their largest hole between 200 and 600 AD, but theyve measured the Earths deceleration at 1.8 milliseconds per day per century. Given the moons gravitatio
29、nal effect on our oceans, the discovery that Earth is decelerating isnt a surprise, notes the Christian Science Monitor, though astronomers had previously estimated a higher rate.12. Why are days longer than before according to the text?A. The earth rotates more and more slowly.B. Humanity has got i
30、ncorrect timekeeping records.C. It takes longer for the earth to turn around the sun.D. The lost milliseconds for centuries are added to our present days.13. How did researchers come to the conclusion of the study?A. By resetting the rotating time of the earth.B. By referring to ancient timekeeping
31、records.C. By studying the moons gravitational effect on the oceans.D. By measuring time again with an atomic clock.14. What can we infer about the study from what the geographer said?A. Geography theory supports the result of the study.B. The geographer disagrees to the research conclusion.C. The s
32、cientists research is meaningless.D. Its right to get geographers involved in the study.15. What is the meaning of the underlined word “deceleration” in Paragraph 2?A. Evolution B. Slowdown.C. Enlargement. D. Development.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Facebook Is a Bi
