2、year-old Yokitomo Shimotai,who was a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture.“It contains no caffeine so its good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”Shimotai,who started the drinks sale in January 2017,said the drink was accidentally made from a cooking mistake about
3、 30 years ago,when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at his shop.He mashed (捣烂) the burnt garlic with a spoon and mixed it with hot water.When he drank it,he was surprised at its “coffee-like taste” with bitterness.Shimotai began researching the drink after retirement,aimed at turnin
4、g it into a product.After repeating trials and errors on the best way to make it,he created a “coffee” he can be satisfied with about six years ago by using an electric furnace (火炉) to roast the garlic.After cooling it,the garlic is mashed up.Shimotai took a patent on the method in 2015,and opened a
5、 workshop in neighboring Iwate Prefecture.While his drink has a pleasant smell of roasted garlic,it will not cause bad breath because it is carefully and fully roasted,according to Shimotai.The drink is now available at two souvenir shops in Aomori Prefecture,or by ordering by telephone.A packet con

Suppose you were given these three options:(a) to match with their surroundings,(b) to get a mate,or (c) to impress humans.Most people would choose (a).But the real answer is (b).Its not a har
9、d-and-fast rule:there is evidence that the colorful changes of some chameleons can be a disguise.For instance,the small-sized chameleon Bradypodion taeniabronchum seems to match its surroundings more closely when facing an enemy with better color vision.For most chameleons,however,changing color is
10、all about getting a mate.In their natural environment,most chameleons match with their surroundings pretty well,says ecologist Kristopher Karsten of California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.So when they change color,they tend to make themselves easier to notice.Competing males will often batt
11、le it out with a color-change fight.The color-change process doesnt work the way you might expect it to either.Most of us would think it is achieved by some kind of pigments (色素).But a study published in March 2015 suggests that the color changes have nothing to do with chemistry at all.Instead,it t
12、urns out there are some nanocrystals (纳米晶体) within the chameleons cells.By changing the positions of these crystals,the chameleon can show different shades of color.Its not just about how chameleons look.They are also unusually good at using their eyes.In a neat study published in July 2015,zoologis
13、ts showed chameleons two objects that moved around a computer screen.The chameleons were able to split their vision,each eye independently focusing on a different object.Eventually,the chameleons seemed to make a choice,both eyes locking onto the same target.This way they could do a better job of ju
14、dging how far away the objects were and thus how far to shoot out their tongues.All that said,there is a lot that we still dont know about chameleons.4.Why does Bradypodion taeniabronchum change color?A.To hunt food.B.To cheat its enemies.C.To make itself disappear.D.To attract humans attention.5.Ho

17、nsidered one of the best American poets of the 20th century.She was born in Worcester,Massachusetts in 1911.Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss;she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia,Canada when she was five.Eventually Bishop attended Vassar
18、 College,where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moores poetry and met “Ms.Moore” and began their life-long friendship.She later met poet Robert Lowell.She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them,which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her
19、 personal life.Bishops poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979.She would spend years working on a single poem.Her poems are not the result of hasty
20、 scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast.Over a lifetime of writing,she only published about 275 pages of poetry,and about 40 of those are translations.She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading
21、Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place,the very moment shes writing about.She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene.It seems shes always asking us to notice more,and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that its almost painful like a li
22、ght thats too bright.It might take your eyes a while to get used to it,but once they do,youll like what you see.8.What do we know about Bishops early life?A.She started to write poems at five.B.She was always encouraged by her parents.C.She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.D.She was mainly br
23、ought up by her grandparents.9.Why are Bishops letters to Moore and Lowell important? A.They have a deep influence on other poets.B.They offer much information about her life.C.They help us study Moores and Lowells poetry.D.They prove she had friendships with famous poets.10.What can we say about Bi
24、shops poetic creation?A.She liked to write in the morning.B.She could write poems at high speed.C.She tried her best to achieve perfection.D.She published hundreds of books of poetry.11.Which can be used to describe the style of Bishops poems? A.Exact.B.Informal.C.Humorous.D.Enthusiastic.DHe has jum
25、ped off tall buildings,been lit on fire,and fought the deadliest people on the planet.And you know what? For Greg Rementer,its all in a days work.Rementer is part of a group of men and women who bring your favorite action scenes to life on film and television.He was hired to stand in for actors when
26、 a scene carries real risk or requires special skills.On the set of CaptainAmerica:CivilWar,for example,Rementer stepped in for actor Sebastian Stan.Rementer had to jump 45 feet from one building onto another after being thrown down a flight of stairs.Stunts (特技) have always been part of movies.But
27、in the early days of Hollywood,actors generally did their own stunts.When actors didnt do their own stunts,filmmakers would simply hire the first person they could find crazy enough to give it a go.Accidents that resulted in serious injuries were not uncommon.Today,most stunt performers know how to
28、safely fall from great heights.Many have sports backgrounds.Bobby Holland Hanton,who performed in Avengers:AgeofUltron,was a gymnast.Katie Eischen,who worked in TheHungerGames:CatchingFire,did volleyball.As for Rementer,he has been studying martial arts (武术) since primary school.Rementer loves his j
29、ob,but its hardly glamorous.Days on set can be long and hard;its common to work 14 hours at a time in uncomfortable locations.A stunt that lasts a few seconds can take hours to set up.Plus,stunt performers must train continuously to stay in shape.Being a stunt performer today is much safer than it u
30、sed to be,thanks to better equipment and strict rules in Hollywood.But injuries are still part of the job.After all,if stunts were completely safe,stunt performers wouldnt be needed.“Ive been fortunate,” Rementer says,explaining that he hasnt had any serious accidents.“Ive had some broken arms,broke
31、n toes,and a lot of bruises.But when youre doing things like riding wires into concrete walls,youre going to feel it.You just have to be ready to get up and go again.”12.What was Rementer hired to do?A.Bring boring stories to life.B.Encourage actors to do sports.C.Perform dangerous actions for actor
32、s.D.Instruct Sebastian Stan in special skills.13.Why did the author mention some stunt performers in Paragraph 3?A.To introduce their stunts.B.To praise their great skills.C.To show they are highly trained.D.To stress the importance of sports backgrounds.14.Which of the following can best replace th
33、e underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 4?A.Tiring.B.Attractive.C.Dangerous.D.Meaningful.15.What can we infer about Rementer from his words?A.He takes pleasure in risky jobs.B.He suffers misfortune every day.C.He has a strong sense of professionalism.D.He has a love-hate relationship with his job
