A
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists（灵学家）say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. T o research whe ther there is such a “sixth sense”, Robert Baker, a psychologist （心理学家）at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people didn’t know that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he asked the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way mirror in a laboratory. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stare d at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker finds out that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. “If people doubt the outcome of m y two experiments,” said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
46. What’s the purpose of the two experiments?
A. To explain when people can have a sixth sense.
B. To study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
C. To prove why humans have a sixth sense.
47. We can know from the two experiments that _______.
A. Baker did the first experiment in public places.
B. Baker did the second experiment for about five to fifteen minutes.
C. all the subjects had to write down how they felt when being stared at.
48. The underlined word “outcome” can be changed into _______.
A. value
B. result
C. behavior
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
B. People have a sixth sense in all places.
C. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Natural abilities of animals.
B. The famous experiments.
C. The sixth sense.
B
China’s Yangtze River, the world’s third longest river, is home to 378 known species（物种）of fish. But the Chinese paddlefish（白鲟）, once a common freshwater fish in the river, is no longer a member of it. Although few paddlefish were seen after 1995, they didn’t completely become extinct until between 2005 and 2010; they were last seen in 2003. According to a recent study, human activities drove the nearly 200-million-year-old animals to extinction.
The Chinese paddlefish, also known as the “panda of
Yangtze”, was one of the world’s largest freshwat er fish
species. It could grow as long as 7 meters and weigh up to 450 kilograms.
While the Chinese paddlefish was listed as a
nationally protected animal in the 1980s, overfishing in the 1970s caused great influence on their population. National Geographic reports that about 25 tons of paddlefish were caught each year during that period. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam divided the paddlefish population into two parts, which broke migration patterns（洄游模式）and prevented producing young upstream. This caused the paddlefish to be short of numbers to reproduce.
The problem is that more will be like this, but the hope is that in order to save other endangered Yangtze species, many quicker efforts are being made. Also China introduced a 10-year commercial（商业的）fishing ban（禁令）over 300 parts along the Yangtze River in order to protect endangered Yangtze species.
51. What does the underlined part “become extinct” mean in Chinese?
A. 繁殖
B. 变异
C. 灭绝
52. What DOESN’T the passage mention about the paddlefish?
A. Its length.
B. Its height.
C. Its weight.
53. According to Paragraph 3, what caused the extinction of the paddlefish?
A. Humans’ overfishing and being separated by a dam.
B. Living in a bad environment and being separated by a dam.
C. Humans’ overfishing and living in a bad environment.
54. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The commercial fishing ban was made to protect paddlefish only.
B. Action is being taken to save freshwater fish species.
C. The Chinese paddlefish is the only freshwater fish in the Yangtze River.
55. In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage?
A. NA TURE.
B. SCIENCE.
C. HISTORY.

However, today, people have realized the importance of buying and using environmentally- friendly products.

Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.

A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business of them.

Do students like to do their homework on their phones? Zhang Keqi, a 14-year-old from Fujian, said he doesn’t. “Sometimes the apps can’t recognize what I’m reading in English.

Zhou Tianyi, 12, from Sichuan, also thinks it’s fun t o do homework with apps. Her teachers ask their students to dub（配音）English videos and make their own short videos. “But if I have too much other homework to do, I feel like it’s too much for me to finish,” she said.
