It is used to create natural f
26、uel and renewable plastics. It helps improve oceanic ecosystems.People think of forests as the best defense against climate change. But some researchers say seaweed is a better settlement. Unlike trees, seaweed doesnt need fertilizers or fresh water. It grows faster than trees do. And it doesnt requ
27、ire any land. Most importantly, it absorbs carbon from the environment.Seaweed could also become a key global food source. Many worry about the environmental influence of eating meat. Could seaweed farms provide enough protein for the world? Carlos Duarte, a professor of oceanic ecology thinks so. “
28、When you look at how we are going to feed the world population by 2050, in a way that doesnt harm the environment, there is only one pathway,” he says. In the past decade or so, global seaweed production has doubled. In British Columbia, seaweed farming is becoming popular. For thousands of years, F
29、irst Nations people, the native people of Canada, have farmed on land and in the ocean. Seaweed farming helps them create economies of their own that agree with their traditions. Their role has always been to connect with the land and repair it.Seaweed might fight climate change but it isnt without
30、risks. If it isnt harvested, it can go bad and give off carbon back into the air or water. Growing too much of it could also affect the amount of light that reaches species living deeper in the water. That would be dangerous for underwater ecosystems. So some scientists think seaweed can be a part o
31、f the settlement to climate change, but its not a perfect one on its own.28. What is an advantage of seaweed in fighting climate change compared with trees?A. Growing taller. B. Using fewer resources.C. Living longer. D. Absorbing more carbon.29. What is Carlos Duartes attitude to growing seaweed to

33、en less in recent years.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Seaweed Farming for FoodB. Seaweed Production in the WorldC. Seaweed Creating Natural FuelD. Seaweed in Environmental ProtectionDCaleb Arnold loves birds, especially hummingbirds. The 7-year-old boy knows a lot about his favorite ani
34、mal. “They pollinate(授粉) plants, and theyre pretty and small,” he says. But theres one thing Caleb didnt know: hummingbirds see a wider range of colors than we do.It makes sense that Caleb didnt know this. Few people did for sure, until June 15, 2020, when researchers published a report in Proceedin
35、gs of the National Academy of Sciences. It confirmed the fact that scientists have long suspected. Birds are experiencing a more colorful world that is above our own. A team of scientists conducted a three-year experiment to find out if hummingbirds are able to tell apart colors that look the same t
36、o humans.To understand the experiment, its important to know how color vision works. There are three types of tiny color-sensitive cones(锥细胞) in the human eye. Birds, and some other animals, have a fourth. This means they can also see ultraviolet(紫外线) colors. The ultraviolet cone type allows birds t
37、o see combination colors that humans cant, like ultraviolet green and ultraviolet red. Biologists studying birds have supposed that birds can see these, but its been challenging to test this idea.Thats exactly what the team did. They put two bird feeders in the wild. One contained ordinary water. Th
38、e other contained sugar water. Both feeders held a specially designed LED light stick sort of a bird-vision light tube that changed colors. If we are shown the ultraviolet green tube and the green tube, theyd both just look green to us. But the hummingbirds saw the difference. They could even tell a
39、part two shades of ultraviolet red. The scientists observed that the birds were able to use the colors of the lights to find the sweet water.Caleb is glad scientists want to better understand birds. “Good” he said, after hearing the news. “Theyre part of nature.”32. What is the purpose of the first
40、paragraph?A. To introduce hummingbirds. B. To explain a natural law.C. To lead in the topic of the text. D. To describe a boy who loves birds.33. What is unknown to most people about hummingbirds?A. They look very beautiful. B. They are of a small size.C. They are helpful to plants. D. They see more
41、 colors than humans.34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reason for birds better color vision. B. The challenges biologists face.C. Combination colors unseen by humans.D. The experiment to test ultraviolet colors.35. How did hummingbirds find the water they liked?A. By tasting the water in t
42、he two containers.B. By recognizing the light colors on the feeders.C. By smelling the water in different tubes.D By telling apart the depth of water in different feeders.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。In China, poetry is an important part of the curriculum and, wit
43、h recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education, the number of poems students will have to memorize and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy-two. Now, before you gasp in horror, lets think about the reasons why studying so many poems, especially ancient poems, is important.Firs
44、t of all, poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. 36._. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to expressthe joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example.

46、captures that feeling and image, and makes it beautiful.39._. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, especially Western poetry, was actually spoken before it was written. Take Homers Iliad for example. The story was apparently told for hundreds of years in palace
47、s and on street corners before Homer wrote it down.The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” And poems are very concisethere is not a wasted word. 40._.A. Few people read it for pleasure.B. Poems can also express beauty.C.
48、 Poetry is difficult to recite.D. Of course, to really appreciate poetry, it has to be read aloud.E. You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!F.
