第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

（6分）Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, 21．
but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.
“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”
This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely pu ppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.
It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stori es. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.
As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live anim als. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up
with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.
1、What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?
A．be refused by B．be beneficial to
C．make a difference to D．receive support from
2、What are the advantages of robot pets?
a. They are plastic and feel smooth.
b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.
c. They can help cure allergies.
d. They save space and costs.
A．ab. B．bc. C．bd. D．cd.
3、The passage mainly tells us ______.
A．the advantages of robot toys B．the popularity of robot pets
C．living pets are dying out D．robot pets are coming
22．（8分）Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing (不间断的) battle against Parkinson disease.
Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.
One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only $5 in her pocket, was walking to a gas station. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said ,“That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.
During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDe’s family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse. Her tuition was past due (逾期) and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.
Judy died on July 9,2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners (悼念者)
to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check. 1、Why did Judy’s family choose TunDe in the end?
A．To help her with a kind gesture. B．To look after Judy in the hospital. C．To replace another nursing aid. D．To give Judy the best medical care. 2、How might Chris feel when hearing TunDe’s story?
A．Thrilled B．Shocked
C．Puzzled D．Delighted
3、How did the Wright family help TunDe after Judy’s death?
A．They paid for her education. B．They helped care for her family. C．They bought her a surprise present. D．They helped her realize her dream. 4、What does the whole story mainly tell us ?
A．Kindness comes full circle. B．Constant dropping wears stone. C．The truth never fears investigation. D．Actions speak louder than words.
23．（8分）It’s not every day that United States history mixes with microbes (微生物) in the soil. But when the grassland on the National Mall in Washington, D．C．was replaced, it offered scientists the opportunity to study changes in the soil beneath.
The work focused on the bacteria present in the soil. To the researchers’ surprise, the communities of microbes did not change a lot before and after the replacement. These communities in the soil are known as the soil microbiome (微生物群).
“My lab is interested in how microbes can move around in the environment , and how they change and adapt as a result of this movement,” explains Jo Anne Crouch, the lead author of the study. “We thought that the new ‘imported ’turf (草皮) from New Jersey would introduce different communities of bacteria to the National Mall. However, we found that they weren’t significantly different.”
Crouch’s work focused on turf grass ，defined as a large area of green grass. It is made up of the grass, its roots, and the soil and microbes found with them.
Think of the soil microbiome as similar to the collection of microbes found in the human body. When the microbes are out of balance , it can make someone sick. Crouch says it’s the same for the soil microbiome. Many of the worst diseases in crops or other environments are linked with changes in the soil microbiome.
Additionally, Crouch says that even though the changes between the soils were
small, scientists are also starting to appreciate that sometimes a really important microbe is a rare one. This means it would be hard to observe but could greatly affect how the groups function as a whole. “Agricultural areas and other natural spaces are highly and easily h urt by negative changes,” she says. “Microbiomes offer an almost entirely new opportunity to influence interactions among plants and microbes to improve plant productivity and health. ”
1、Why did the researchers feel surprised when they focused on the bacteria in the soil? A．More bacteria appeared in the soil.
B．Microbes were replaced obviously.
C．Soil microbiome almost remained stable.
D．The soil microbiomes damaged the environment.
2、By studying the turf grass , what did Crouch and her team find?
A．Microbes grew faster in their own community.
B．Soil microbiomes were different in different places.
C．Turf grass adapted to the environment nearby very soon.
D．Similar communities of bacteria were brought by turf grass.
3、Why did the author mention the microbes in the human body?
A．To indicate the two play a similar role.
B．To prove they are both the causes of diseases.
C．To examine the environments people live in.
D．To analyze the changes of human microbes.
4、What does Crouch mean in the last paragraph?
A．Microbes are still as hard to observe as before.
B．Studies on microbiomes can be beneficial to agriculture.
C．Scientists are still puzzled about the effect of microbiomes.
D．Too many microbiomes in the soil mean no harm to plants.

25．（10分）Today tropical rainforests are disappearing from the face of the globe. Despite growing international concern, rainforests continue to be destroyed at a pace over 80,000 acres per day. World rainforest cover now stands at around 2.5million square miles. Human activities have had an effect on much of this remaining area.
Deforestation(森林滥伐) of tropical rainforests has a global effect through species extinction, the loss of important ecosystem services and renewable resources, and the reduction of carbon sinks. However, this destruction can be slowed, stopped, and in some cases even reversed(逆转). Most people agree that the problem must be solved, but the means are not as simple as building fences around the remaining rainforests or banning the wood trade. Economic, political, and social pressures will not allow rainforests to continue to exist if they are completely closed off from use and development.
So, what should be done? The solution must be based on what is practical, not completely idealistic and depends on developing a conservation approach built on the principle of sustainable(可持续的) use and development of rainforests. Beyond the responsible development of rainforests, efforts to restore damaged forest lands along with the establishment of protected areas are key to securing rainforests for the
long-term benefits they can provide for mankind.
Historic approaches to rainforest conservation have failed, as shown by the increased rate of deforestation. In many regions, closing off forests as untouchable parks and reserves has neither improved the quality of living or economic opportunities for the rural poor, nor stopped forest clearing by illegal woodcutters and developers.
The problem with this traditional approach to preserving wildlands in developing countries is that it fails to develop proper economic motives for preserving the forest. Local people and the government itself must see financial returns to prove the costs of maintaining parks from economic activities.
1、What has caused some species extinction in the tropical rainforests?
A．Humans' destroying the trees.
B．Carbon sinks being reduced.
C．Lacking renewable resources.
D．Fences not being built around the rainforests.
2、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Tropical rainforests can be easily preserved.
B．Rainforests must be closed off to be better protected.
C．Human activities have had an effect on tropical rainforests.
D．Economic returns can make some difference in protecting tropical rainforests.
3、What is the author's attitude to tropical rainforest protection?
A．Indifferent.
B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful.
D．Puzzled.
4、What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To show the bad effects of deforestation.
B．To stress the importance of the rainforests.
C．To appeal for right ways to save the rainforests.
D．To introduce the fact of forests disappearing.
