Still, when a coach first asked Lopez to join his program, her mom hesitated– she never thought her daughter would want to be a wrestler.Lopez is among a growing number of girls who are taking up wrestling. Officials with youth organizations in Chicago and the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) said they’ve seen the number of girls participating in the sport take off in recent years.In Lopez’s program, about half of the st udents participating in the organization’s free youth wrestling camp this summer are girls, coach Frankie Zepeda said.Many of the girls Zepeda sees become interested in wrestling through their brothers, he said.4“They probably just learn to … fight back,” he said.One of those was Yamilet Aguirre. She took up wrestling because she was bored just watching her brother wrestle, she said.“I can have fun doing it,” she said. “And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.”Though girls have competed on high school wrestling teams in Illinois for years, coaches and female wrestlers said there weren’t many participating a decade ago.“It’s really picked up over the last few years,” said Jim Considine, president of the IKWF.Between the 2015-16 and 2017-18 seasons, the number of girls registered with IKWF grew from 363 to 503, and more of the organization’s events are featuring a girls-only division. Girls and boys wrestle together during the season through IKWF, but there’s a girls-only championship at the end of the year.And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. Ten years ago, you’d never haved reamed of doing this.”24. What has helped her take up wrestling, in Yamilet Aguirre’s case?A. Her wish to be stronger than boys.B. Her awareness to protect girls.C. Her parents’ expectations.D. The experience of watching wrestling competitions.25. Th e underlined word “option” is closest in meaning to ______.A. challengeB. chanceC. choiceD. change26. What can we learn about female wrestling in the US from the article?A. Its popularity in college is declining.B. It’s still unacceptable in many people’s eyes.C. It has been accepted by colleges.D. College girls like it less than dancing.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?A. A Female Sport EventB. Not Just for BoysC. The Great Sports PersonalityD. Make Way for Male WrestlersCWhen we talk about famous UK writer Agatha Christie, it seems that her famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are must-reads. So, of5course, are her best-selling novels Murder on the Orient Express (1934) and Death on the Nile (1937).But when the readers around the world were asked to name their favorite Christie novel to mark her 125th birthday on Sept 15, And Then There Were None (1939) topped the list, reported The Guardian.It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective. What it does have is suspense (n.悬念) and a very sinister (adj.邪恶的) atmosphere. It is “on a knife edge”, as Mathew Prichard, Christie’s grandson, told the newspaper.Ten people get an invitation to come to a house on a small island near Devon in South West England. Nobody refuses these invitations since each one promises something the person wants: a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend .These people are all responsible for deaths. Some are directly responsible, others are responsible because of what they did not do. Anthony James Marston, for instance, killed two children while driving dangerously. He did not feel guilty and actually complained when he was banned from driving. Another, Emily Caroline Brent, is a harsh person who threw out a young servant for becoming pregnant while unmarried. The servant later killed herself.When they arrive at the house they are played a recording. The voice gives details of the wrongdoing of each of the guests. Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits their crime. The series of deaths is completed with a hanging, “and then there were none”, as the title suggests.Christie can be quite a predictable writer. Some of her stories are a little unoriginal. But this book is full of clever writing. Look it up to find out what this hugely successful mystery writer, the “Queen of Crime” as she was called, could do at her best.28. All of the following are Agatha Christie’s works EXCEPT ______.A. Queen of CrimeB. Death on the NileC. And Then There Were NoneD. Murder on the Orient Express29. What makes Then There Were None more astonishing ?A. The unique theme offered by Agatha Christie.B. The criminal plot without a detective.C. The attractive place shown in the novel.D. The varied characters created by Agatha Christie.30. According to the author, the title of the novel suggests that ______.A. no guests survive in the end6B. no detectives appear in the novelC. there are no mysteries in the novelD. nobody is to blame for the deaths of the guests31. Which of following is TRUE about the novel And Then There WereNone?A. All the people in the novel have killed someone before.B. Ten innocent people are killed on a small island.C. The people in the novel accept the invitations because of somethingthey are offered.D. A detective finds out who is responsible for the people’s deaths in theend.DMany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling ( 潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物)diseases.Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction (灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.732. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more______.A. complexB. eco-friendlyC. dangerousD. convincing33. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has______.A. succeeded in catching many fishesB. found the existence of golden treefrogsC. documented the spread of softshell turtlesD. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho34. What can we infer from the last paragraph ?A. Robots will replace scientists soon.B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.C .The old-fashioned field work may disappear.D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species SurveysB. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNAC. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of LifeD. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions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。
