2. I was in the Altai Mountains with Biosphere Expeditions (生物圈考察队). I was a member of the expedition which was the first to take part in a survey of snow leopards (雪豹) in this part of the world.
Getting to the base camp had already been an expedition. It was getting dark as we arrived. After a very welcome night’s sleep, we were up early for some training on how to write down the data, how to identify animal tracks, and what to do with useful animal droppings.
The next day, our group set off up one of the mountains to do our first research with our guide Oleg. We spent most of the morning climbing the endless mountains. By early afternoon, we reached what appeared to be the top but was another ridge (山脊). My 47-year-old bones were shaking, and I was trying very hard to breathe. We hadn’t seen a thing except for rocky mountains. Our guide was keeping going, but we had very little idea about what we were supposed to be doing. Energy was dropping rapidly.
Then everything changed. Hardly able to speak with excitement, one of the other groups told us that they had just discovered fresh snow leopard tracks!
On arrival, we found the group silently looking at the mountain. A set of very clear paw prints (爪印) ran from top to bottom. I was filled with a feeling of complete excitement. One of the rarest big cats in the world had passed through where I was standing! They were here and what we were going to do would help them survive.
All the suffering of the past days fell away. The long walk back to the base camp that night seemed to go by in seconds.

3. To solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.
Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.
“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. ”
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began
developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and th ought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled a nd tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.
Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.
1. What do the new robots mainly do?
A．To collect tiny bits of plastic in the sea B．To push the pollution in water away
C．To help do research into the plastic D．To deal with the plastic in water
2. How do the new robots get powered?
A．By stars B．By plastic C．By sunlight D．By living cells 3. Why did Pumera take part in the project?
A．Because of public attention to the plastic
B．Because of the challenges from the plastic
C．Because he was asked to do so by other scientists
D．Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots
4. What is the best title of the article?
A．Small robots, big dreams B．No plastic in water anymore!
C．Robots, winners against plastic D．The fight between robots and plastic
4. You might be excited by something you did in the day. You might be nervous about what you’re going to do the next day. Maybe you don’t like sleeping alone in your room. Maybe you have frightening dreams. All of these are possible reasons for your sleeping problem. However, there are some steps you can take to help you solve it.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re worrying about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about being teased (被嘲弄) at school, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease your mind so that you can have a good rest.
Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is a good choice. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, be sure to ask your parents to move or fix it. Make sure electronics, such as mobile phones or iPads, are kept away from your bed. They can keep you excited, making it harder for you to fall asleep.
If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand may help you fall asleep. Try to take more time to wind down by taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime story at least 30 minutes before you go to sleep. It also helps to follow a bedtime routine and go to sleep at the same time every night. As a result, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep. Your body will know to start feeling tired.
In order to find the right solution for you, it’s important that you understand what exactly is keeping you up at night. Getting a good night’s sle ep is worth the time and effort of finding the right solution to your sleeping problem.
1. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．Why people have frightening dreams at night.
B．Why daytime activities influence people’s sleep.
C．What may make it hard for people to fall asleep.
D．What can help people solve the sleeping problem.
2. If you want to feel less nervous about a test and sleep well, what should you do?
A．Go to your parents for help. B．Sleep in a quiet and cool room.
C．Study harder at school. D．Listen to some stories before bedtime. 3. What does the underlined phrase wind down in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Keep clean. B．Get relaxed. C．Stay awake. D．Feel excited.
4. To get a good sleep, what does the writer advise you to do first?
A．Go to bed at a certain time every night.
B．Do something to make you tired in the day.
C．Know the reason why you stay awake at night.
D．Stay away from electronics before going to bed.
5. Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. 1 They find that the phones are more than a means of communication – having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity(负面报道)of such ideas. 2
On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious
memory loss. 3 This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years.
4 The answer is radiation(辐射). High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about the safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often.
5 Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future, mobile phones may have a war ning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
6. One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor ________ the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to

“I want you to write what you ________ there.”
The students got started on the inexplicable (费解的) task.
At the end of the class, the professor ________ all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them, with no ________, described the black dot, trying to explain its ________ in the middle of the sheet, etc. After all had been ________, the classroom was silent, and the professor began to ________: “I’m not going to grade this. I ________ wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the ________ part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our ________. We have a white paper to observe, but we always focus on the dark spots.

7. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

When you read a book, you’ve probably noticed that a brand new book has a rather special smell, 1 differs from that of an older book. Where does it come from? Three sources (来源)—the paper, the ink and the glue.
Around 200 AD, the Chinese first came up with paper, one of the greatest 2 (invent) in the world. It is made 3 wood. The wood must be processed with various chemicals 4 (add) to change its structure, to remove acid (酸) and to whiten the paper. Then comes the ink—there 5 (be) many kinds. Some fade with time, while others get 6 (dark) than years ago. Finally, different glues are used to join the sheets together and attach the covers, whether hardcover 7 paperback. Therefore, you can smell different chemicals 8 (come) out of your new book.
