Plastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.
The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing instead small nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks（裂缝）in buildings. But the researchers found that three of eight brood cells（育雏巢室）contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on average.
While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers by pollinating（给......传授花粉）crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native species of leafcutter bees.
In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction
worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished.
4. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study?
A. How widely plastic is used.
B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is.
C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic.
D. How plastic pollution has harmed them.
5. What do leaves mean to alfalfa leafcutter bees?
A. Food.
B. Shelter.
C A plastic substitute. D. Traditional nest materials.
6. Which is one characteristic of leafcutter bees?
A. They have great economic value.
B. They store honey like honeybees.
C. They prefer to live in tree holes.
D. They have evolved into a new species.
7. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?
A. It might be warmer.
B. It might be unhealthy.
C. It might be easy to finish.
D. It might be recyclable.
C
The common use of Google Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?
People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.
Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go
north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.
But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.
That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.
8. How does the author feel about Google Maps?
A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.
9. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?
A. Strange street names.
B. Ordinary paper maps.
C. Complex road arrangements.
D. Lack of road instructions.
10. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. In a fixed order.
B. In good condition.
C. Of great importance.
D. Of the same kind.
11. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?
A. Fashion.
B. Opinion.
C. Society.
D. Geography.
D
Texas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.
To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.
It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they
convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.
Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.
For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.
12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPT
A. age limit
B. mental condition
C. online registration
D. gun-operating skills
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.
B. The present situation of gun possession in America.
C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.
D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.
14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?
A. Heavier workload for policemen.
B. Disrespect for officers.
C. Lack of trust among citizens.
D. Difficulty in crime prevention.
15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?
A. Negative.
B. Cautious.
C. Indifferent.
D. Approving.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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___16___While these compulsive(无法控制的) actions may appear to be irrational or pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion feels unable to stop him or herself.
The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing, or a mental activity, like counting objects. When an otherwise harmless behavior becomes so consuming that it negatively impacts oneself or others, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症).
___17___The former is an overwhelming desire to do something, while an addiction is a physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. People with addictions will continue their addictive behavior, even when they understand that doing so is harmful to themselves and others.___18___
Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out uncontrollably, habits are actions that are repeated regularly and automatically.
Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried out habitually.
While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or even an addiction.___19___For example, the good habit of exercising regularly can become an unhealthy compulsion or addiction when done to excess.
Common habits often develop into addictions when they result in a chemical dependency, as in the cases of smoking. The habit of having a glass of beer with dinner, for example, becomes an addiction when the desire to drink turns into a physical or emotional need to drink.
___20___While we can choose to add good healthy habits to our routines, we can also choose to break old harmful habits.
A A compulsion is different from an addiction.
B. It currently affects about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in theU.S.
C. Some of these behaviors are visible actions while others are mental behaviors.
D. In other words, you really can have “too much of a good thing.”
E. Compulsive behaviors are actions that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over again.
F. Alcoholism, smoking,and gambling are perhaps the most common examples of addictions.
G. Of course, the key difference between a compulsive behavior and a habit is the ability to choose to do them or not.
