Living things have a life cycle. They are born, grow, and die. Even though stars are not living things, they do have a life cycle. A star is born in a cloud of dust and gas. A young star is blue and very hot. A middle-aged star is yellow. It cools and becomes a red giant. Finally, the star explodes. The light of a star tells astronomers many things about the star. Annie Jump Cannon was an American astronomer who carefully classified (分级) stars by looking at their light.
Annie Jump Cannon was born in 1863. Her mother taught her about the constellations (星座) when she was a girl. Annie was interested in studying the stars when she grew up. But not many women went to college in those days. Also, Annie had an illness that caused her lost most of her hearing. But these things didn’t stop Annie from earning two college degrees.
Cannon was hired to work at the Harvard College Observatory (天文台). Astronomers there used telescopes and took photographs of the sky. It was an exciting new science.
The light from each star passed through a prism (棱镜) in the telescope. A prism is a piece of cut glass. Light passing through a prism is separated into a rainbow. Cannon studied the photos of each band of colors. Almost all photos were black and white. She could not see the colors. She could only see different dark lines. She used them to classify stars from younger and very hot to older and cooler.
Annie Jump Cannon classified more than 300,000 stars! Her star catalog is still used by astronomers all over the world. During her lifetime, Cannon received many honors. In 1934, an award was named for her. The Annie J. Cannon Award in Astronomy is given every year. It is given to a woman astronomer from North America.

A record of 1,101 manatees (海牛) died in Florida last year, many from hunger. So last December, government wildlife experts thought up a plan to give food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far, they have served up more than, 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees. But as the weather is getting warm, the program is expected to end soon.
Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the animals are boats. Manatees are curious and fairly slow. That has led to thousands of manatees being hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees.
However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again. Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. For example, in Indian River Lagoon, where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off. Long term, Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter.
36．Why are manatees sometimes called “sea cows”
A．They are as big as cows. B．They can swim like cows.
C．They have tails like cows. D．They feed on plants like cows.
37．How has the number of manatees changed over years
A． B．
C． D．
38．Which shows the correct order of the causes of manatees’ death
A．sea pollution→growth of algae→death of sea grass→death of manatees
B．growth of algae→sea pollution→death of sea grass→death of manatees
C．sea pollution→death of sea grass→growth of algae→death of manatees
D．growth of algae→death of sea grass→sea pollution→death of manatees
39．The underlined word “block” can be replaced by the word ________
A．provide B．prevent C．help D．attack
40．What is the main idea of passage
A．The government in Florida carries out a feeding program to prevent manatees from starvation.
B．Manatees in Florida are facing threats from boats and pollution.
C．Sea grass beds are disappearing due to algae growth, impacting manatees.
D．Reasons for Manatees’ death are still unclear.

Bringing back an old tradition

Many people like animals, and take them as their pets. The old people thank pets can stay with them when they feel l 46 . Pets can even bring them h 47 when they are sad.

Scientists are already working on making very small farm animals such as smaller cats and dogs. It’s said that some day you might own a panther (黑豹) as a pet. Scientists might have to start turning w 48 animals into pets. What about a robot for a pet This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to bark like real dogs. After all, robots don’t lose hair or chew on things the way real pets do. People don’t need to f 49 them or take care of them either. Lots of people miss their pets w 50 they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. Many experts believe this idea will become more and more popular.
