2019-2020学年福建福州市高三上学期期末考试英语试卷及答案二、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共40分）ASeptember is the month for fashion，with four international cities hosting Fashion Week．All eyes will turn to New York City，London，Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show．New YorkNew York Fashion Week，or NYFW，kicks off on September5th and runs for approximately eight days．NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four．It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate，bringing a fresh look to the runway．LondonLondon Fashion Week（LFW）comes on the heels of NYFW，starting on September13th and running through September17th．Once considered a minor player among the Big Four，LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers．London fashion houses have a reputation for being very experimental and open to new ideas．MilanFashion Week moves to Milan on September17th．This beautiful Italian city is home to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world，including Armani and Prada．Milan's fashion houses are known for offering glamorous（有魅力的），yet practical，options．ParisThe chaotic month of fashion makes its way to France as Paris Fashion Week begins on September23rd．Saving the best for last，Paris never fails to offer some of the most exciting shows of the season．World-famous labels like Chanel and Dior try to outdo one another with their latest designs．The word that best describes Paris Fashion Week is "elegant"．21.Which city is likely to attract the new designers？______A.New YorkB.LondonanD.Paris22.When does Milan Fashion Week probably end？______A.September19thB.September20thC.September21stD.September22nd23.What can we learn from the four fashion weeks？______A.Each has its own characteristics．B.Each shows its biggest brand．C.Each offers practical options．D.Each is open to school students．BFire Capt．Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point，Utah，north of Salt Lake City．A pregnant woman and her screaming2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car．While his partner，Allen Hadley，was tending to the driver，Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down．He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish，andthen he had a better idea．He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails．Soon she entirely lit up．At the same time，Hadley showed up to check on the scene．Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted．Then Hadley just put his hand in there．The girl began to color his nails pink．By this time，she was not only calm，but she was also happy．The girl's mother was not injured．She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better，and they all chuckled，looking at the firefighters'nails，and took some photos．The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around．The department put them up on Facebook，and thousands of people responded，with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl．Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention．He said he was proud of his firefighters，and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job．After the fact，Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to：the layers of polish on their nails．They bought a bottle of nail polish remover，and used almost all of it．24Why was the2-year-old girl frightened？______A.She was caught in an accident．B.Her mother was badly injured．C.Her nails were hurt by the bottles．D.She was afraid of seeing firefighters．25Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"chuckled"in Paragraph4？______A.Sighed．B.Shouted．ughed．D.Hugged．26Which of the following can best describe the two firefighters？______A.Knowledgeable．forting．C.Humorous．D.Courageous．27What is the purpose of the text？______A.To ask us to learn to calm down in time of danger．B.To speak highly of the warm-hearted firefighters．C.To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails．D.To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails．CAs you move out of your teens and into your20s and30s，your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music．Now，research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change：33．The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U．S．Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest．To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes，the author gatheredself-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users'"Taste Profiles，"which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists．These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest．The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard，the200highest-ranking albums in the country，but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age．In their teens，they listen to a lot of the same music，over and over again．Frank T．McAndrew，a professor of psychology at Knox College，explains that's the"mere exposure effect"at work，and it basically means，the more we're exposed to something，the more we like it．There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits，and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries．In other words，when users may have become parents．But the study concludes with some good news for parents："If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to，have no fear-just wait for your kids to become teenagers，and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!"28.What happens after teens grow older？______A.They quit listening to music．B.Their interest in music fades．C.They change their music libraries．D.Their musical tastes become stable．29.What is the way of the research？______A.Interviews．B.Analyzing data．C.Observation．D.Tracking popularity．30.How do teens develop their musical tastes？______A.They listen to what they like repeatedly．B.They act like their favorite popular stars．C.They experience different styles of music．D.They like high-ranking music worldwide．31.What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph？______A.Parents will regain their faith in music．B.Parents will influence their teens in music．C.Parents will hear their favorite music again．D.Parents will enjoy the music for teens again．DThey still bite，but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever-a dangerous disease that they normally would spread．Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia，Vietnam，Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes．Researchers first injected（注射）mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab．Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs．Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers，both the females that bite and the males that don't，allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population．Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests，"this is really about transforming the mosquito，"said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program，which is conducting the research．The first success came from Australia．Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in2011，and gradually spread through the local mosquito population．Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected，and then bites another person，but somehow Wolbachia blocks that-and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities，Simmons said．The studies are continuing in other countries．But the findings，presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene，suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters．The work marks"exciting progress，"said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi，who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves．More research is needed，specialists cautioned．"The results are pretty exciting-strong levels of reductions-but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great，"said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw．32.What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoes？______A.They lose the ability to bite people．B.They become harmful to human beings．C.They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria．D.They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating．33.What does the underlined word"that"refer to in Paragraph4？______A.The bite from a mosquito．B.The local community．C.The spread of Dengue．D.The infected person．34.What do the last two paragraphs suggest？______A.This research proves a complete success．B.Scientists agree on this research．C.There is still room for improvement．D.Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones．35.What is the best title for the text？______A.Bacteria-infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue．B.Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying BitersC.Fight against Mosquitoes with WolbachiaD.Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Being scared is not always a treat．When a balloon pops，we may jump．36How does the body triggered（激发）these reactions？When we encounter something we're not familiar with，our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown．These changes are part of the body's"threat，""stress，"or"fight-or-flight"response．This response is triggered by the five senses，which are always sending information to the brain．37，the brain sounds a danger alarm．It releases chemicals into the bloodstream，and those chemicals act on different parts of the body．Once the body is alert（警觉的），the brain decides whether or not the danger is real．38It urges a person to hide，run away，or defend oneself．Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they're ready when they're needed．Stress chemicals can make a person more alert．Our memories also help protect us．We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might hurt them．As babies grow，they learn what's unsafe，and their brains store those memories39Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things．We're born with the ability to feel fear，but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned．A long-lasting fear can mean you're had a bad experience，and your brain doesn't want you to have it again．Many people have beaten their own fears．Here's one method．40，they learn the facts about anything that seems scary．Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid．A．Instead of listening to their imaginationB．When they signal something unexpectedC．Our heart beats harder，and we breathe fasterD．Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangersE．It's good to have a healthy sense of what's dangerousF．Fear is a tool that the brain uses to keep the body safeG．Memories are an important factor in fear-lasting experiences三、完形填空（本大题共19小题，共30.0分）Ethan Katz enjoys playing with his dogs，McFly and Brooklyn，and often helps

2019-2020学年福州高级中学高三英语期末试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年福州高级中学高三英语期末试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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AOn the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), red tourism has gained popularity among tourists who flood in to visit historic sites with a modern revolutionary heritage.JinggangshanThis is one of the most crucial and splendid chapters of history of establishing Red China as well as a unique and wonderful ecosystem, which is covered with rich forest, rugged peaks and several memorials to the Red Army. The best time to visit is between April and October, with the most temperature timing April and May when the large azaleas (杜鹃花) bloom.Open: 8:00-17:00 (Feb. 16-Nov. 15). 8:00-16:30 (Nov. 16-Feb. 15)XibaipoIt is an old revolutionary base where the leadership of the Communist Party of China was stationed, drawing up the blueprint for a new country. A memorial hall was built to honor the memory of this site. The lake and the hill here add brilliance and beauty to each other and form pleasant scenery.Open: Tuesdays to Sundays 9:30-17:00 (Xibaipo Memorial Hall)The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial HallA new exhibition is held with updated display approaches, including phantom imaging (全息影像) and oil painting, which are used to improve visitors' experiences. The exhibition shows four stages of the CPC from its establishment to its achievements.Open: Tuesdays to Sundays 8:30-18:00 (closed on Mondays)Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew YouthNew Youthstarted the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement. The site was briefly based in Beijing but moved back to Shanghai in 1920 and also served as the office for the Communist Party of China Central Committee in the 1920s.Open: Thursdays to Tuesdays 9:00 - 11:30, 13:30 - 16:30 (closed on Wednesdays)1. Where would visitors learn more about the history of the Red Army?A. Jinggangshan.B. Xibaipo.C. The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall.D. Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew Youth.2. What do we know about the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall?A. It focuses on Chinese achievements in art.B. It mainly advertises the coming anniversary.C. It applies modernized methods to the exhibition.D. It briefly introduces the rise and fall of Nanhu.3. When can tourists visit Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew Youth?A. At 1:00 p.m. on Mondays.B. At 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays.C. At 2:00 p.m. on Fridays.D. At 5:00 p.m on Sundays.BContrary to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.The research, led by Dr Rocio, studied adult and seedling (幼苗)plants in the ecological desert in the south-east of Spain. Dr Rocio said, “If you're a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example-and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found, which was surprising, is an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators(传粉者)in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity(生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiversean area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, mammals and birds, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems. ” This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but thefindings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.4. What is a common understanding of plants?A. They can help each other.B. They can survive ill conditions.C. They compete with each other.D. They grow well on their own.5. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants?A. They will produce more flowers.B. They will die owing to competition.C. They will make adult plants larger.D. They will get support from adult plants.6. What is the effect of the nurse-seedling partnership?A. It leads to unfavorable environments.B. It produces long-term healthy chances.C. It attracts higher and larger pollinators.D It provides a more variety of plant types.7. Who will benefit from the new research?A. People studying organic farming.B. People protecting plants on sand hills.C. People wanting to change biodiversity.D. People keeping more animals on the farm.COnline education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materialsprepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.8. What benefits the development of online education?A. Teachers’ good teaching ability.B. Lack of traditional classrooms.C. Learners’ access to free courses.D. The rapid advance of technology.9. Why did the author take a student for example?A. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.B. To persuade learners of traditional education.C. To explain the growing trend of online education.D. To predict the future of the teaching career.10. What caused the author to know more about online education?A. The appetite for knowledge.B. The professional responsibilities.C. The requirement of research.D. The colleagues’ encouragement.11. What is the author’s attitude to online education?A. Carefree.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Unwilling.DLight pollution is a significant but overlooked driver of the rapid decline of insect populations, according to the most comprehensive review of the scientific evidence to date.Artificial light at night can affect every aspect of insects' lives, the researchers said. "We strongly believe artificial light at night — in combination with habitat loss, chemical pollution.invasive (入侵的) species, and climate change — is driving insect declines, " the scientists concluded after assessing more than 150 studies.Insect population collapses have been reported around the world, and the first global scientific review published in February,said widespread declines threatened to cause a "catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems".There are thought to be millions of insect species, most still unknown to science, and about half are active atnight. Those active in the day may also be disturbed by light at night when they are at rest.The most familiar impact of light pollution is moths (飞蛾) flapping around a bulb, mistaking it for the moon. Some insects use the polarisation of light to find the water they need to breed, as light waves line up after reflecting from a smooth surface. But artificial light can scupper (使泡汤) this. Insects areimportant prey (猎物) for many species, but light pollution can tip the balance in favour of the predator if it traps insects around lights. Such increases in predation risk were likely to cause the rapid extinction of affected species, the researchers said.The researchers said most human-caused threats to insects have analogues in nature, such as climate change and invasive species. But light pollution is particularly hard for insects to deal with.However, unlike other drivers of decline, light pollution is ly easy to prevent. Simply turning off lights that are not needed is the most obvious action, he said, while making lights motion-activated also cuts light pollution. Shading lights so only the area needed is lit up is important. It is the same with avoiding blue-white lights, which interfere with daily rhythms. LED lights also offer hope as they can be easily tuned to avoid harmful colours and flicker rates.12. What is discussed in the passage?A. Causes of declining insect populations.B. Consequences of insect population collapses.C. Light pollution: the key bringer of insect declines.D. Insect declines: the driver of the collapsed ecosystem.13. What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?A. How light travels in space.B. How light helps insects find food.C. How the food chain is interrelated.D. How light pollution affects insects.14. What does the underlined word"analogues"in Paragraph 6probably mean?A. Selective things.B. Similar things.C. Variations.D. Limitations.15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To offer solutions.B. To give examples.C. To make comparisons.D. To present arguments.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。

2019-2020学年福州高级中学高三英语期末试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年福州高级中学高三英语期末试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.A. let him spend a meaningful summerB. encourage him to do more walkingC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2. The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much3. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. Mum's Strict Order.B. My Passion forReading.C. Reunion with My Beagle.D. The Charm of a Book.BIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.4. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A. To find differences between boys and girls.B. To explain the poor performance of girls.C. To ask readers a question.D. To introduce the topic.5. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A. biologicalB. personalC. socialD. historical6. What does the text say about great mathematicians?A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.B. They started learning math at an earlier age.C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.7. The author would probably agree that ________.A. boys and girls learn in the same wayB. boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD. girls should take fewer science courses than boysCCalifornia's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.8. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.9. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.10. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.11. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.DTwo young brothers fromMalden.Massachusettswere in the spotlight Thursday after being named “heroes" by a national organization that recognizes young people doing great things. For the Bennett brothers, the goal of their work is nothing less than helping researchers find a cure for cancer. And their inspiration came from a friend.Thirteen-year-old Hany Bennett and his nine-year-old brother Heath run their business out of their family kitchen. "We're making lip balm（润唇膏），"Harry says. They got the idea two years ago when their friend, Timmy, was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. brothers wanted to do something. We learned that cancer patients（lips and skin can get really dry because of chemotherapy（化疗），Hany says.A light bulb went off in both of their young heads,and " Bennett Brothers Balm was born. "We make lip balm, which is kind of like our main product/ says Heath. They also make and sell different body balms, all natural, all handmade, while the profits benefit cancer research. "We've raised S 15,000/ Heath says.And with the great optimism of children, they don't just want to help；they wont to win. We want to find a cure. We want to help doctors find a cure, Harry explains, The brothers are also Gelding a team for the Light the Night Walk, to fight cancer."I think it's great to raise money and help people who have cancer," says Heath. Their parents play a big role as well, but it's the boys who provide the most enthusiasm with a message we can all learn from. "If you want to do something... do it," Harry says. "I just feel very glad that we're helping. It feels very good”，adds Heath.Harn and Heath just received the S 10,000 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. Hwy intend to save some ofil for college, invest some of it in their business and give the rest to charity. And their friend Timmy? "He's doing great. He's all better, Harry says.12. What encouraged the Bennett brothers to make lip balm at first?A. Helping a friend with cancer.B. Finding a cure for cancer.C. Raising public awareness of cancer.D. Collecting money for cancer patients.13. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?A. The two brothers finished their first product.B. The two brothers came up with an idea.C. The two brothers struggled for a stress-free life.D. The two brothers found an effective way to study.14. What do the Bennett brothers think of their work?A. It is quite competitive.B.

A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn’t get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl’s mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters’ nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around.

Now, research has found the average age at which your music library isunlikely to change: 33.The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U.S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' "Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamedindividual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents.But the study concludes with some good news for parents: "If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to, have no fear —just wait for your kids to become teenagers, and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!"28.

Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.Researchers first injected(注射) mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating(交配) to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, " this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that—and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland communities, Simmons said.The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.The work marks "exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn’t involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting—strong levels of reductions —but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.32.
