Sweden
While it can get very cold there in the winter, cycling is still enjoyed year-round and the country develops a cycling culture that encourages people to use bikes as their primary means of transport. For this reason, there are supportive measures in place and plenty of places to rent a bike from. Many travel Sweden’s beautiful cities on two wheels, Stockholm, in particular, is a great place to explore on a bike.
What’s more, cycling is so big there that they have pump stations for deflated(泄气的)tires and bicycle-specific parking. The use of electric bikes is also becoming more popular here.

Sasha Olsen went on a trip last summer with her family to Vietnam and Japan. She was frightened at the ocean’s pollution levels and dying sea animals.
“We went on this trip and I was so excited,” said Sasha. She is 10 years old and lives in Bal Harbour, Florida. “But when I saw the way the oceans had become, I got anxious. I wanted to know why things were this way but couldn’t find an answer.”
When she returned home to Bal Harbour, she grew even more disturbed. She learned how some of the beaches in South Florida had been closed by The Health Department because the water had too much bacteria in it.
Sasha sought the help of her cousin, Narmina Aliyev. Aliyev is 23 years old and a recent graduate of Nova Southeastern University with a bachelor’s degree in business. Together, they started a nonprofit Iwantmyoceanback in October.
Originally, the group started small, with friends coming together on the weekends to clean the beaches in Bal Harbour. Recently, however, I want my ocean back has hosted events to raise funds for beach cleanups and to donate to conservation groups such as the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Oceana and World Wildlife Fund, Aliyev said.
In January, Sasha organized “Kids Heal the Oceans” at Bal Harbour beach. There, she spoke about the oceans’ problems and guests made art out of microplastics gathered from the beach cleanup. “At first, our guests were a little shy, but now they’ve felt inspired to speak up! Sasha has inspired many other kids to join Iwantmyoceanback and show people that we’re able to make a change if we come together,” Aliyev said.
On February 16, the group threw a Plastic-Free Party. The party involved a beach cleanup and guests creating art from the plastic trash they collect. “It’s important to bring awareness not just through doing cleanups and meetings, but to show people they can come together through their hobbies and working together to a common goal,” said Sasha.

Australia is the only major honey-producing country that has so far managed to contain the spread of a mite which is harmful to bees. The first step is pouring gas into the beehive. Then it’s time to wait. The job is finished when the hive is burned the next day.
Since last week, this cycle has been on repeat near a port in eastern Australia, part of a government effort to protect the country’s multimillion dollar honey industry. Millions of bees have been destroyed to help contain the spread of the deadly mite, which reappeared in the country last week near the Port of Newcastle. If the mite became established in Australia, it could cost the nation’s honey industry more than $70 million a year, in addition to its effect on the crops that rely on bee pollination.
The mites, which are reddish-brown and about the size of a sesame seed, can spread from bee to bee and through beekeeping equipment. If left untreated, the mites could kill an entire colony of honey bees, the government has said.
It’s not easy to contain the mite. One of the biggest challenges in the current containment effort is figuring out the location of infected hives and mapping their spread in a vast region, according to Danny Le Feuvre, the acting head of the Australian Honey Bee Industrial Council. It’s necessary to contain the Port of Newcastle and the hives within a 31-mile radius(半径)of it. The port is a major shipping destination and one of the world’s busiest export centres for coal.
So far at least 600 hives have been destroyed in the area. “The beekeepers are very nervous at the moment,” Mr. Feuvre said. He said he was confident the country would be able to contain the spread, given its history of previous eradication efforts of honey bee mites and strict controls at all airports stopping passengers from bringing live plants, soil, fruits and vegetables into Australia.
28. Why do people pour gas into beehives
A. To stop the spread of a deadly mite.
B. To prevent bees from producing too much.
C. To ensure the safety of the Port of Newcastle.
D. To protect visitors from being harmed by bees.
29. What’s the biggest difficulty in the present containment effort
A. Removing tourists’ fears. B. The cooperation of the beekeepers.
C. Finding the location of infected hives. D. Ensuring the normal operation of the port.
30. What’s Mr. Feuvre’s attitude to Australia’s containment action
A. Doubtful. B. Dissatisfied. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Spread and Harm of Mites
B. Australia’s Agriculture Is in Danger
C. The Relationship Between Bees and Agriculture
D. Australia Is Killing Bees to Save Its Honey Industry
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。为了挽救其蜂蜜产业，澳大利亚杀死数以百万计的蜜蜂以遏制一种有害螨虫的传播。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Millions of bees have been destroyed to help contain the spread of the deadly mite, which reappeared in the country last week near the Port of Newcastle.(为了遏制这种致命螨虫的蔓延，数百万只蜜蜂已被消灭。上周，这种致命螨虫在纽卡斯尔港附近再次出现)”可知，人们要往蜂箱里倒气体是为了阻止致命螨虫的传播。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the biggest challenges in the current containment effort is figuring out the location of infected hives and mapping their spread in a vast region, according to Danny Le Feuvre, the acting head of the Australian Honey Bee Industrial Council.(据澳大利亚蜜蜂工业委员会代理主席Danny Le Feuvre说，目前遏制工作的最大挑战之一是确定受感染蜂巢的位置，并绘制出它们在广阔地区的传播地图)”可知，目前疫情防控的最大困难是寻找感染蜂巢的位置。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said he was confident the country would be able to contain the spread, given its history of previous eradication efforts of honey bee mites and strict controls at all airports stopping passengers from bringing live plants, soil, fruits and vegetables into Australia.(他说，他相信澳大利亚有能力遏制这种传播，因为澳大利亚以前曾努力消灭蜜蜂螨虫，所有机场都有严格的控制措施，禁止乘客将活的植物、土壤、水果和蔬菜带入澳大利亚)”可知，费尔弗尔先生对澳大利亚的遏制行动持支持态度。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Australia is the only major honey-producing country that has so far managed to contain the spread of a mite which is harmful to bees. The first step is pouring gas into the beehive. Then it’s time to wait. The job is finished when the hive is burned the next day.(澳大利亚是迄今为止唯一一个成功控制了对蜜蜂有害螨虫传播的主要蜂蜜生产国。第一步是往蜂箱里倒气。然后就是等待的时候了。当第二天蜂巢被烧毁时，这项工作就完成了)”结合文章主要说明了为了挽救其蜂蜜产业，澳大利亚杀死数以百万计的蜜蜂以遏制一种有害螨虫的传播。可知，D选项“澳大利亚正在杀死蜜蜂以拯救其蜂蜜产业”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.
The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive development over time and to determine the influence of peaks in noise.
The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skills, which are important to learning. The research found that children exposed(暴露)to about three times more traffic in the street than other pupils had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.
Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem”, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.
But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. The scientists said many schools suffered noise pollution and that measures such as rerouting(改道)traffic away from schools could help reduce noise and air pollution.
The research showed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks or vehicles going faster away from traffic lights, had more impact than a higher average(平均的)level of noise. This may be because the peaks divert(转移)attention more, said Foraster.
Prof Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”
32. What is special about the study
A. The method of the study is advanced and scientific.
B. The subject of the study is from different countries.
C. The result of the study is unexpected and surpising.
D. The content of the study is about the effect of traffic noise on children.
33. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. The different forms of pollution. B. The present situation of European cities.
C. The most damaging environmental factor. D. The influence of noise on people’s health.
34. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Related studies to find more convincing evidence.
B. Possible policies to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.
C. How to improve school conditions to protect children’s health.
D. Health conditions of many European children living in the countryside.
35. Where can you read the text probably
A. In a dairy. B. In a textbook.
C. In a guide book. D. In a science magazine.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现：交通噪音会影响孩童的记忆和注意力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive development over time and to determine the influence of peaks in noise.(这项研究对西班牙巴塞罗那38所学校的近2700名7至10岁儿童进行了调查，首次评估了交通噪音对儿童认知发展的长期影响，并确定了噪音峰值的影响)”可知，此次研究首次评估交通噪音对儿童认知能力的影响，故此次研究的特殊之处在于它的研究内容。故选D。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem”, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.(噪音是仅次于空气污染的危害健康的第二大环境因素。人们已经知道，噪音会增加成年人心脏病和糖尿病的发病率。联合国今年2月表示，城市噪音污染正在发展成为“全球公共卫生问题”，仅在欧盟每年就导致1.2万人过早死亡，并影响到从曼谷到纽约的许多城市)”可知，本段主要讲噪音对于人类健康的巨大危害。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.(考虑到许多生活在大城市的欧洲儿童所处的道路交通噪音水平很高，本研究提出了减少学校附近道路交通噪音的公共政策建议)”可推知，接下来可能会讲：一些可能制定的政策来减少学校附近道路的交通噪音。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.(研究发现，道路交通噪音会显著减缓小学生记忆力和注意力技能的发展)”可知文章是一份研究报告，最有可能来自科学杂志。故选D。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sometimes I just felt like there were two of me. On the night of our school science fair, Mum and Dad both came because I was getting an award (奖励). They didn’t sit together but they each told me how proud they were of me. It was the first time in a long time that I’d seen them in the same room.
When I went back to Mum’s the next day, I was feeling sad and wasn’t paying attention as I rode my bike down the street. My bike hit a rock, and I fell down hard into the street, twisting (扭伤) my leg.
Mum rushed me to the emergency room calling Dad on the way. Someone put me on a bed and took an X-ray of my leg. My leg really hurt, but I almost forgot about it when I saw Mum and Dad both standing next to me. When the doctor said my leg wasn’t broken and I could go home, I went back to being the same old rubber band (橡皮筋).
At least at school nothing had changed, and I could be just me. My best friend, Trish, was in my class and we told each other everything, our deepest, darkest secrets. But one day Trish decided to pick Lisa instead of me to be on her softball team. I was so mad! So I hid her lunchbox. No one could find it. Later that day the teacher asked the kids again if anyone knew what had happened to the lunchbox. When she got to me, I couldn’t lie. I was sent to the principal’s (校长) office, and the principal called my parents. We had a meeting. Mum gave me her disappointed look that said, “How could you embarrass (使难堪) me like this ”
Tears filled my eyes. “I know. I feel terrible. ” Then the words kept coming out of my mouth like rocks rolling down a hill. “I hate that you get divorced (离婚)! You don’t even talk to each other unless I’m having a problem. My whole life has changed. I have two different homes, and two different sets of rules. And Tm always afraid that if you get mad at me, you’ll divorce me, too. ‘‘I froze. Did I just say all those things out loud

Anyway, after that day things seemed different.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
Mum and Dad stared at each other, speechless for a moment. Then Mum reached over and hugged me. “I’m sorry you’ve been so upset. You know we love you. We should have paid more attention to how you were feeling.” Then Dad took my hand. “We also don’t want you to feel scared. Our decision to get divorced has nothing to do with you. We love spending time with you. In fact, why don’t we all go to the park and figure out how to make things better ”
Anyway, after that day things seemed different. Sometimes Mum and Dad drove me to a grassy picnic area. We sat on an old blanket and talked heartily. I felt very grown-up because I think Mum and Dad really listened to what I said. Mum took me shopping and bought me a cookbook for kids. And when I was at Dad’s and made a chocolate pudding pie, Mum stopped by to taste it. But the thing that’s making me the happiest is that Mum and Dad will both be around to accompany me.

The Most Bicycle Friendly Countries Around the World
Denmark
Cycling is a hugely popular means of transport and a way to see the country in Denmark. In fact, across the country you’ll find huge networks of cycle paths where no motorized vehicles can go, so you can feel safe while riding your bike. Because of this cycling has become one of the main tourist attractions and activities in Denmark, particularly when it comes to exploring the beautiful capital city of Copenhagen.
Norway
Because of the popularity of cycling here, you’ll find plenty of bicycle parking and public rentals, so you can simply get a bike and go as you explore the country. Much like Denmark, the dedicated bike lanes do not allow for cars or motorized vehicles to enter them.
The Netherlands
In the Netherlands the government prefer bikes to cars and encourage people to travel by bike as much as possible. If you’re a tourist visiting big cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, you can easily hire a bike and explore. There are bike lanes (and bikes) everywhere, they even have their own sets of traffic lights. Much like driving, there are strict rules for cycling in the country and these must obey.
Sweden
While it can get very cold there in the winter, cycling is still enjoyed year-round and the country develops a cycling culture that encourages people to use bikes as their primary means of transport. For this reason, there are supportive measures in place and plenty of places to rent a bike from. Many travel Sweden’s beautiful cities on two wheels, Stockholm, in particular, is a great place to explore on a bike.
What’s more, cycling is so big there that they have pump stations for deflated(泄气的)tires and bicycle-specific parking. The use of electric bikes is also becoming more popular here.
21. What do Denmark and Norway have in common
A. They have set strict rules for cycling.
B. Their main tourist attraction is cycling.
C. They allow visitors to rent bikes for free.
D. They have the dedicated cycle paths or bike lanes.
22. Where will you find special traffic lights for bikes
A. In the Netherlands. B. In Denmark.
C. In Sweden. D. In Norway.
23. What can a visitor easily find in Sweden
A. The use of electric cars. B. Warm weather in winter.
C. Pump stations for deflated tires. D. Free bicycle-specific parking places.

Sasha Olsen went on a trip last summer with her family to Vietnam and Japan. She was frightened at the ocean’s pollution levels and dying sea animals.
“We went on this trip and I was so excited,” said Sasha. She is 10 years old and lives in Bal Harbour, Florida. “But when I saw the way the oceans had become, I got anxious. I wanted to know why things were this way but couldn’t find an answer.”
When she returned home to Bal Harbour, she grew even more disturbed. She learned how some of the beaches in South Florida had been closed by The Health Department because the water had too much bacteria in it.
Sasha sought the help of her cousin, Narmina Aliyev. Aliyev is 23 years old and a recent graduate of Nova Southeastern University with a bachelor’s degree in business. Together, they started a nonprofit Iwantmyoceanback in October.
Originally, the group started small, with friends coming together on the weekends to clean the beaches in Bal Harbour. Recently, however, I want my ocean back has hosted events to raise funds for beach cleanups and to donate to conservation groups such as the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Oceana and World Wildlife Fund, Aliyev said.
In January, Sasha organized “Kids Heal the Oceans” at Bal Harbour beach. There, she spoke about the oceans’ problems and guests made art out of microplastics gathered from the beach cleanup. “At first, our guests were a little shy, but now they’ve felt inspired to speak up! Sasha has inspired many other kids to join Iwantmyoceanback and show people that we’re able to make a change if we come together,” Aliyev said.
On February 16, the group threw a Plastic-Free Party. The party involved a beach cleanup and guests creating art from the plastic trash they collect. “It’s important to bring awareness not just through doing cleanups and meetings, but to show people they can come together through their hobbies and working together to a common goal,” said Sasha.

Australia is the only major honey-producing country that has so far managed to contain the spread of a mite which is harmful to bees. The first step is pouring gas into the beehive. Then it’s time to wait. The job is finished when the hive is burned the next day.
Since last week, this cycle has been on repeat near a port in eastern Australia, part of a government effort to protect the country’s multimillion dollar honey industry. Millions of bees have been destroyed to help contain the spread of the deadly mite, which reappeared in the country last week near the Port of Newcastle. If the mite became established in Australia, it could cost the nation’s honey industry more than $70 million a year, in addition to its effect on the crops that rely on bee pollination.
The mites, which are reddish-brown and about the size of a sesame seed, can spread from bee to bee and through beekeeping equipment. If left untreated, the mites could kill an entire colony of honey bees, the government has said.
It’s not easy to contain the mite. One of the biggest challenges in the current containment effort is figuring out the location of infected hives and mapping their spread in a vast region, according to Danny Le Feuvre, the acting head of the Australian Honey Bee Industrial Council. It’s necessary to contain the Port of Newcastle and the hives within a 31-mile radius(半径)of it. The port is a major shipping destination and one of the world’s busiest export centres for coal.
So far at least 600 hives have been destroyed in the area. “The beekeepers are very nervous at the moment,” Mr. Feuvre said. He said he was confident the country would be able to contain the spread, given its history of previous eradication efforts of honey bee mites and strict controls at all airports stopping passengers from bringing live plants, soil, fruits and vegetables into Australia.
28. Why do people pour gas into beehives
A. To stop the spread of a deadly mite.
B. To prevent bees from producing too much.
C. To ensure the safety of the Port of Newcastle.
D. To protect visitors from being harmed by bees.
29. What’s the biggest difficulty in the present containment effort
A. Removing tourists’ fears. B. The cooperation of the beekeepers.
C. Finding the location of infected hives. D. Ensuring the normal operation of the port.
30. What’s Mr. Feuvre’s attitude to Australia’s containment action
A. Doubtful. B. Dissatisfied. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Spread and Harm of Mites
B. Australia’s Agriculture Is in Danger
C. The Relationship Between Bees and Agriculture
D. Australia Is Killing Bees to Save Its Honey Industry

Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.
The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive development over time and to determine the influence of peaks in noise.
The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skills, which are important to learning. The research found that children exposed(暴露)to about three times more traffic in the street than other pupils had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.
Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem”, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.
But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. The scientists said many schools suffered noise pollution and that measures such as rerouting(改道)traffic away from schools could help reduce noise and air pollution.
The research showed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks or vehicles going faster away from traffic lights, had more impact than a higher average(平均的)level of noise. This may be because the peaks divert(转移)attention more, said Foraster.
Prof Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”
32. What is special about the study
A. The method of the study is advanced and scientific.
B. The subject of the study is from different countries.
C. The result of the study is unexpected and surpising.
D. The content of the study is about the effect of traffic noise on children.
33. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. The different forms of pollution. B. The present situation of European cities.
C. The most damaging environmental factor. D. The influence of noise on people’s health.
34. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Related studies to find more convincing evidence.
B. Possible policies to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.
C. How to improve school conditions to protect children’s health.
D. Health conditions of many European children living in the countryside.
35. Where can you read the text probably
A. In a dairy. B. In a textbook.
C. In a guide book. D. In a science magazine.

Sometimes I just felt like there were two of me. On the night of our school science fair, Mum and Dad both came because I was getting an award (奖励). They didn’t sit together but they each told me how proud they were of me. It was the first time in a long time that I’d seen them in the same room.
When I went back to Mum’s the next day, I was feeling sad and wasn’t paying attention as I rode my bike down the street. My bike hit a rock, and I fell down hard into the street, twisting (扭伤) my leg.
Mum rushed me to the emergency room calling Dad on the way. Someone put me on a bed and took an X-ray of my leg. My leg really hurt, but I almost forgot about it when I saw Mum and Dad both standing next to me. When the doctor said my leg wasn’t broken and I could go home, I went back to being the same old rubber band (橡皮筋).
At least at school nothing had changed, and I could be just me. My best friend, Trish, was in my class and we told each other everything, our deepest, darkest secrets. But one day Trish decided to pick Lisa instead of me to be on her softball team. I was so mad! So I hid her lunchbox. No one could find it. Later that day the teacher asked the kids again if anyone knew what had happened to the lunchbox. When she got to me, I couldn’t lie. I was sent to the principal’s (校长) office, and the principal called my parents. We had a meeting. Mum gave me her disappointed look that said, “How could you embarrass (使难堪) me like this ”
Tears filled my eyes. “I know. I feel terrible. ” Then the words kept coming out of my mouth like rocks rolling down a hill. “I hate that you get divorced (离婚)! You don’t even talk to each other unless I’m having a problem. My whole life has changed. I have two different homes, and two different sets of rules. And Tm always afraid that if you get mad at me, you’ll divorce me, too. ‘‘I froze. Did I just say all those things out loud
注意：
