It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you."

A Soldier's Brilliant IdeaCLizard is a kind of reptile, mostly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Except for a few species, most of them live on land.With the development of lizard research, scientists have found that some land lizards are also "masters of diving". Scientists have observed an euthanasia lizard dive into the water for 16 minutes without any harm. Do they have evolved organs that can breathe underwater, or do they have unknown stunts? This aroused the curiosity of scientists.Scientists have found that when an euthanasia lizard dived into the water, it did not hold its breath, but learned to "breathe" underwater. It turns out that it stores air in its lungs, and when it exhales underwater, its nose expands into a small bubble: when it inhales, the bubble disappears. Between one breath and one breath, the bubble also disappears, so that the air circulates and "exchanges" in the small bubble. The euthanasia uses small bubbles to breathe air, just like a diver with an air tank.Of course, unless absolutely necessary, the euthanasia lizard will not easily go down to the water to use the "forced out" stunt. When the euthanasia lizard escaped into the water for a long time to hide from the predators, the predators on the shore had already returned. The competition for survival is brutal. The euthanasia lizard with its own air tank tells us that it is better to ask for oneself than for others. More necessary reserves, more excellent skills, and even more a way back It can save us from danger and even create a miracle of life.8. By reading the first paragraph, you can get the following information?A．Lizard is a kind of aquatic animal.B．Most lizards live on land.C. A small proportion of lizards are distributed in the tropics and subtropics.D. Lizards like to live underwater.9. What arouses scientists' intense curiosity?A. With the development of lizard research.B. The euthanasia has evolved an organ that can breathe underwater.C. The land lizard is also a "diver".D. An euthanasia lizard dived into the water for 16 minutes and was safe.10. Reading the third paragraph, what is the right point?A. Euthanasia lizards learn to breathe underwater.B. Euthanasia lizards breathe underwater with air tanks.C. When the euthanasia lizard dives into the water, it immediately holds its breath.D. The euthanasia has evolved an organ that can breathe underwater.11. What does the article tell us?A. Lizard is a kind of reptile.B. The euthanasia lizard is a unique skill of "forcing out" when it often goes down into the water.C. We should master more skills to save us from danger.D. We should learn from the euthanasia to master its skills.DRecently, there is a view on the Internet that "the rise of pig price will lead to the rise of other food prices, thus leading to a substantial rise in overall prices". It should be said that this judgment is not scientific. We should objectively understand the position of pork price in the overall price and its possible linkage effect.At present, the main problem faced by pork prices is the lack of pork production capacity, which has nothing to do with inflation and will not lead to inflation. The rise of pork price only affects the upstream and downstream of pig industry and other related products such as meat, but has limited impact on the overall price. At present, China's agricultural product supply is sufficient, the production capacity of consumer goods is constantly improving, the service supply is more diversified, and the monetary policy remains stable, which provides a solid foundation for the stable operation of prices.Keeping prices, especially the prices of important people's livelihood commodities, basically stable is related to the basic life of the people. In the face of rising pork prices, the state's policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices continues to increase. From choosing the right opportunity to put frozen meat reserve to starting the price subsidy mechanism, from rectifying the improper restriction and prohibition measures to protecting the land for pig farms, from special financial support to financial insurance escort, all departments are taking measures. With the gradual effectiveness of the measures, the price of pork will be stable in the future. It is worth noting that the data of the Ministry of Commerce on September 10th shows that the increase of pork wholesale price has fallen back from the previous week (from September 2nd to 8th).12.From the first paragraph of the article, what's the correct point of view we can get? A．The rise of pig price will lead to the rise of other food prices, which will lead to the sharp rise of overall prices.B．The rise of pig price will lead to the decrease of other food prices, which will lead to the sharp decline of overall price.C．People should objectively understand the position of pork price in the overall price and its possible linkage effect.D. People should objectively understand the position of pork price in the overall price and the linkage effect it can produce.13. According to the second paragraph, we can know why the price of pork is rising？A．The reason for the rise of pork price is related to inflation.B．The reason for the rise of pork price is related to the death of pigs.C．The reason for the rise of pork price is related to market demand.D．The reason for the rise of pork price is related to the lack of pork production capacity.14. According to the third paragraph of the article, what will be the price of pork in the future?A．The price of pork will keep rising.B．The price of pork will probably be stable.C．The price of pork will not be stable.D．The price of pork will never be stable.15. The most suitable title for this article is？A. The price of pork is rising.B. What people do in the face of rising pork prices.C. The impact of rising pork prices.D. The impact of rising pork prices on people.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。
