We all know that birds use their feathers to line their nests.But have you ever heard of a bird eating its own feathers?It is a bird which lives in water and is called the great crested grebe.It cats its own feathers and feeds them to her young ones too.And it always prefers soft feathers,which it loses throughout the year.
Scientists believe that its feather-eating habit has something to do with the process in which it throws waste. The grebe has an unusual throwing waste system.It throws out one or two balls of waste through its mouth on every two days.The main food of grebes is fish.So the ball of waste has fish bones apart from parasites.It is important for the grebe to throw these parasites out.If it didn’t,they would attack the grebe and make it sick.
According to scientists,the feathers add hard things to its waste.They make it easier to form the ball of waste
and throw it out.The grebe’s feathers arc silky to touch and are black or gray in colour.Sometimes,it may he red on top with white parts.The great crested grebe is usually7to10inches long,and has short wings and a pointed beak.
Another peculiar part about the bird is its toes.They form a web,helping it to swim.In fact,the grebes are excellent swimmers and they use their feet only for rising under water.
The grebe makes its nest on floating leaves or plants and lays about two to ten eggs in it.Although the eggs are white in the beginning,they begin to get dirty as the leaves on which the nest is made become bad.Both the male and female grebes hatch the eggs and care for the young ones.However,although there are18to20species of grebes living around the world,some of them are endangered.
8.What is special about the great crested grebes?
A.They use their feathers to line their nests.
B.They produce soft feathers.
C.They lose their feathers all year round.
D.They eat their own feathers.
9.How do the feathers eaten by grebes affect their throwing waste?
A.By increasing their waste to be thrown out quickly.
B.By helping them form a common throwing system.
C.By helping them form and throw out the ball of waste.
D.By keeping them from throwing parasites in their bodies out.
10.What does the underlined word“peculiar”in paragraph4mean?
A.Unusual.
B.Solid.
C.Massive.
anic.
11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The grebe lays eggs directly on floating leaves or plants.
B.Effective measures should be taken to protect species of grebes.
C.Grebe’s eggs can easily go bad shortly after they get dirty.
D.The female grebes hatch the eggs while the male attend to babies.

凤头䴙䴘有一个不寻常的排泄系统，它每两天就通过嘴扔出一到两个垃圾球)”和第三段的“According to scientist,the feathers add hard things to its waste.They make it easier to form the ball of waste and throw it out.(根据科学家的说法，羽毛在其排泄物中添加了坚硬的东西。

它们使垃圾球更容易形成并扔掉)”可知，吃掉的羽毛对排泄的影响就在于有助于形成并排泄出这些球，故选C。

【10题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据下文“They form a web,helping it to swim(它们形成一张网，帮助它游泳)”结合上文凤头䴙䴘吃羽毛的特别可知，这里说的是凤头䴙䴘的另外一个特别之处就是它的脚，故画线词意思是“不寻常的”。

A.Unusual.不寻常的；B.Solid.固体的；C.Massive.大量的；anic.有机的。

故选A。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段最后一句“However,although there are18to20species of grebes living around the world,some of them are endangered.(然而，尽管世界上生活着18到20种凤头 䴘，但其中一些已经濒临灭绝)”可推知，凤头䴙䴘濒临灭绝，需要采取有效措施对其进行保护，故选B。

This past July was the hottest recorded month in human history.Heat waves brake temperature records worldwide.It’s more than just a matter of sweaty discomfort.As climate change worsens,access to artificially cooled spaces is rapidly becoming a health necessity.
Yet standard air-conditioning systems leave us trapped in a negative feedback cycle:the hotter it is,the more people use the air condition er and the more energy is consumed as a result.Cooling is the fastest-growing single source of energy use in buildings,according to the International Energy Agency.Breaking the cycle requires new innovations that will help bring cooler air to more people with less environmental impact.
Standard air-conditioning systems cool and dehumidify(除湿)through a relatively inefficient mechanism:in order to condense(冷凝)water out of the air,they overcool that air past the point of comfort.Many new designs therefore separate the dehumidification and cooling processes,which avoids the need to overcool.For example, some new air conditioner designs pull water from the air with desiccant(干燥剂)materials.The dried air can then be cooled to a more reasonable temperature.Massachusetts-based start-up Transaera claims that the system it is developing could use35percent less energy than the average standard air-conditioning unit.
However,the gains in efficiency might not help us get rid of the impact of air-conditioning.“It won’t work to simply replace every existing air conditioner with a better model and call it a day,”says Nicole Miranda,an engineer at the University of Oxford.“Instead,a truly coder future will have to employ other strategies.It’s critical to bring greenery and water bodies into cities to take advantage of natural airflow.”
“Cooling is a challenge involving many aspects,”says Sneha Sachar,an expert at the nonprofit organization ClimateWorks.“There isn’t one strategy or one answer.We need a combination of better buildings and cities,better technologies and a better understanding that the true cost of air-conditioning extends beyond electric bills.”
12.Why does the author talk about record heat in the first paragraph?
A.To make comparisons.
B.To support his theory.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To show cooled places.
13.What does Transaera say about its system?
A.It’s available in the market.
B.It’s time-honoured.
C.It’s the most efficient model.
D.It’s energy-saving.
14.What is Nicole Miranda’s attitude to just upgrading air conditioners?
A.Favorable.
B.Tolerant.
C.Negative.
D.Uncaring.
15.What message does Sneha Sachar want to convey about cooling?
panies will offer various options.
B.A comprehensive approach is required.
C.We can address the issue once and for all.
D.Our first priority is to lower electric bills.

过去的7月份气温再创新高，人们愈发依赖空调带来的清凉，但能耗随之剧增，进而加剧气候变化。

如何破除这种恶性循环，需通盘考量。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段“This past July was the hottest recorded month in human history.(今年七月是人类历史上最热的月份)”并结合下文可推断，作者在此提及高温天气是为了引出文章的话题。

故选C。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段“Massachusetts-based start-up Transaera claims that the system it is developing could use35percent less energy than the average standard air-conditioning unit.(总部位于马萨诸塞州的初创公司Transaera声称，它正在开发的系统可以比普通标准空调机组少消耗35%的能源)”可知，Transaera公司研发
的制冷设备低耗节能。

故选D。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段“‘It won’t work to simply replace every existing air conditioner with a better model and call it a day,’says Nicole Miranda...‘Instead,a truly cooler future will have to employ other strategies.It’s critical to bring greenery and water bodies into cities to take advantage of natural airflow.’(妮可·米兰达说，简单地用一个更好的型号更换所有现有的空调并就此结束是行不通的相反，一个真正凉爽的未来将不得不采用其他策略。

将绿色植物和水体引入城市以利用自然气流至关重要)”可推断，Nicole Miranda并不赞同仅通过空调技术的更新迭代来消除空调的影响。

故选C。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段““Cooling is a challenge involving many aspects,”says Sneha Sachar,an expert at the nonprofit organization ClimateWorks.“There isn’t one strategy or one answer.We need a combination of better buildings and cities,better technologies and a better understanding that the true cost of air-conditioning extends beyond electric bills.”(非营利组织ClimateWorks的专家Sneha Sachar说：“冷却是一个涉及多方面的挑战。

”。

“没有一个策略或答案。

我们需要更好的建筑和城市、更好的技术，以及更好地理解空调的真正成本不仅仅是电费。

”)”可推断，Sneha Sachar认为要解决制冷问题，需综合考虑多方面因素。

故选B。

Food plays an important role in our lives.We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food.In fact,it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine.Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture.
____16____It doesn’t matter where you’re from—you have to eat.And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat.Food preservation(保存)techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world?____17____In Morocco,Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat.When preserved correctly,it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature.That makes a lot of sense in Morocco,where the country historically has desert landscape,and extremely warm,dry temperatures.
____18____Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat,and others are almost entirely plant based.These cuisines took shape in the long course of history.For example,India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region,with meat and wheat dishes in the north,vegetarian diets in the south.
Sometimes,a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets.____19____And perhaps one of the
most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala.It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish,but was actually invented by the British!
Food tourism—it’s a whole new way to travel.Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest(德国十月啤酒节).____20____They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer.And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight(洞悉)into a whole other aspect of a particular region’s culture.
A.Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
B.Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
C.It has something to do with local resources,needs and climates.
D.Food is the most important necessity of the people.
E.Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.

文章主要说明了为什么食物是了解一种文化的最佳途径。

【16题详解】
根据后文“It doesn’t matter where you’re from—you have to eat.And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat.Food preservation(保存)techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle.Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world?(不管你来自哪里，你都得吃饭。

你的社会文化很可能是从普遍的饮食需求演变而来的。

食物保存技术是气候和生活方式所特有的。

有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”可知，后文主要说明了食物的重要性，本句为本段第一句，总起全文，故D选项“食物是人们最重要的必需品”符合语境，故选D。

【17题详解】
根据上文“Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world?(有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”以及后文“In Morocco,Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat.When preserved correctly,it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature.That makes a lot of sense in Morocco,where the country historically has desert landscape,and extremely warm,dry temperatures.(在摩洛哥，Khlea是一道菜，由干牛肉和动物脂肪组成。

如果保存得当，在室温下保存两年仍然是好的。

这在摩洛哥很有意义，因为这个国家历史上有沙漠景观，而且温度非常温暖干燥)”可知，本句是在回答上文关于保存肉类过程不同的问题：与当地的资源、需求和气候有关，后文则给出对应的例子。

故C选项“这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关”符合语境，故选C。

【18题详解】
根据后文“Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat,and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history.For example,India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region,with meat and wheat dishes in the north,vegetarian diets in the south.(有些人的菜肴完全以肉类
为基础，而另一些人则几乎完全以植物为基础。

这些菜系是在漫长的历史过程中形成的。

例如，印度的菜
肴因地区而异，北方有肉和小麦菜，南方有素食)”可知，本段主要介绍了菜系与当地饮食模式之间的关系，故B选项“当地菜系展示了历史上的饮食模式”符合语境，故选B。

【19题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes,a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets.(有时，一道菜的某种成分可以揭示文化的秘密)”以及后文“And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala.It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish,but was actually invented by the British!(也许两种
菜系混合后最有趣的结果之一就是鸡肉提卡马沙拉。

它似乎是印度的穆加利菜，但实际上是英国人发明的！)”可知，本句是在举例说明某种菜的成分，故F选项“黑胡椒原产于亚洲，但已成为欧洲菜肴的重要组成部分”符合语境，故选F。

【20题详解】
根据上文“Food tourism—it’s a whole new way to travel.Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest(德国十月啤酒节).(美食旅游——这是一种全新的旅行方式。

美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒)”可知，上文提到美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒，可知本句是在说明游客还会收获的东西：他们会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣，是对上文的补充说明。

故G选项“此外，他们
会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣”符合语境，故选G。
