A team of researchers from several institutions in the UK and one in Estonia has created a type of buoy（浮标）that has proven to be effective at frightening seabirds, thus preventing them from getting caught in gillnets—a type of vertical fishing net that is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets. Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.
To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back and forth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.
To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed.
4. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. Introducing a new topic to discuss.
B. Providing background information.
C. Summarizing the previous paragraph.
D. Pointing out the main idea of the text.
5. Why did the researchers make the googly eyes big?
A. To ensure all the seabirds can see them.
B. To clearly observe seabirds' eye contact.
C. To allow them to survive the strong wind.
D. To effectively identify the right direction.
6. What does the researchers' test result mainly suggest?
A. The new device still needs improving
B. Gillnets are a death valley for seabirds.
C. Seabirds hardly catch fish near the nets.
D. The googly-eyed buoy proves effective.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A group of researchers interested in seabirds.
B. A way to help seabirds catch fish effectively.
C. A device keeping seabirds safe from gillnets.
D. A googly-eyed buoy guiding seabirds to hunt.

After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.
Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.
She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.
But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.
Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.
“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”
8. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .
A. people were concerned about her safety
B.she didn’t learn any sailing skills well
C. she had to continue her study at school
D. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips
9. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Failed.
B. Completed.
C. Continued.
D. Started.
10. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .
A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors
B. stop children entering Guinness World Records
C. encourage parents to sail with their children
D. prevent children making dangerous attempts
11. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. A New Guinness World Record in Sailing
B. A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors
C. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe World
D. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records
D
Craig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the carmade its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
12. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile?
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B. To donate it to sick children.
C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
13. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first?
A. Hopeful.
B. Confused.
C. Impossible.
D. Unsure.
14. How did Blackburn’s friend help him?
A. By making an outer shell for him.
B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars.
D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
15. What is the car lovers’ expectation of the Batmobile?
A. It will be driven soon on the roads.
B. It can be displayed around the world.
C. It can change the lives of sick children.
D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.

(6). what→that
(7). perform→performing
(8). who→which
(9). very→well
(10). go→goes
【61题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：令我吃惊的是，我们分开这么多年后，他还记得我的生日。

“to + one’s +情感名词”，“令某人……”，固定搭配。

故将In改为To。

【62题详解】
考查及物动词。

句意：她性格像她母亲，但外表不像。

resemble看起来像，及物动词，其后直接加宾语，无需用介词like。

故删除like。

【63题详解】
考查可数名词的数。

句意：这出戏得到许多差评后，很快就彻底失败了。

many后需接可数名词复数。

故将review改为reviews。

【64题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。

句意：他故意不理睬她的电话，因为他不想被打扰。

feel like doing sth.想要做某事，固定搭配，此处表示被打扰，所以like后需用being done。

故在disturbed前加being。

【65题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：她宁愿步行去那里也不愿坐公共汽车。

would rather do sth. than do sth.宁愿做某事而不愿做某事，固定搭配。

故将took改为take。

【66题详解】
考查强调句型。

句意：给我们留下深刻印象的是他强烈的责任感。

分析句子结构可知，此处应该是强调句型：It was+被强调部分+that（强调人时可用who）…”，此处强调的是主语his strong sense of responsibility，应用that。

故将what改为that。

【67题详解】
考查动名词。

句意：我们从来没有想到像他这样的人会自己做这个实验。

imagine sb. doing sth.想象某人做某事，固定搭配。

故将perform改为performing。

【68题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：我借给他十本杂志，大多数比你想象的还要精彩。

分析句子结构可知，本句先行词是ten magazines，指物，关系词代替它在从句中充当主语，且位于介词of之后，需用which引导非限制性
定语从句。

故将who改为which。

【69题详解】
考查副词。

句意：这本字典很值得买。

worth值得的，表示程度时，其前需用副词well，不用very。

故将very 改为well。

【70题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。

句意：这个女孩和她的父母每年夏天都去海滩。

由时间状语every summer可知，本句谓语动词需用一般现在时态，as well as连接两个并列的主语时，谓语动词需用“就远原则”，所以此处谓语动词的形式取决于The girl，单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数goes。

故将go改为goes
52.略。
