The droughts in Africa have killed millions of farm animals and the crops (庄稼) of farmers. Some rivers are so low that he heavy boats can’t travel on them in Europe. In China, the drought has died up much of the water in the Yangtze River. That has cut the amount of energy produced (发电量) by the world’s largest dam(大坝) by 40%.________________________________Starting September 23, the lights on the Eiffel Tower will be turned off earlier to save electricity(电). It will mean turning off the lights on the Eiffel Tower at 11:45 at night. Normally, the lights aren’t turned off until one in the morning. Other public buildings in Paris will turn off the lights at 10 p.m.The Eco-Mermaid (美人鱼)Merle Liiivand once nearly swallowed (吞咽) some plastic in the sea while swimming. That made her think of all the sea animals who faced similar pollution every day. She wanted to work to make more people know it. Then she began swimming like a mermaid with a special swimming fin tied to both of her feet. She broke her own world record for swimming with a fin on May 7. Along the way, she picked up all the litter (垃圾) she found.56.In which section of the newspaper can we read the news A. ENERGY B. MAN & ENVIRONMENT.C. LOCAL STORIES D. SCIENCE NEWS57.

He began studying composition at 11 and majored in (主修) music in college. He was always lost to sounds around him. When he was a high school student in Tokyo, he would ride the train and enjoy himself by listening to the sounds it made.In 1978, he formed a music group called Yellow Magic Orchestra. He made songs that influenced early hip-hop and techno.But what made Sakamoto world-famous was his film music. In 1983, he composed the music for the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and acted in it as well. His film score for The Last Emperor in 1987, won him an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe.Sakamoto always paid close attention to the real world and human society. In 2020, he gave a nonprofit(公益的) music performance for Wuhan people who were fighting the pandemic(疫情). He used Chinese style instruments made in Wuhan to bring people strength and courage.He also spoke against unclear power (核能) following the 2011 Fukushima disaster(灾难). When visiting the disaster area, he found a water-damaged (损坏的) piano. He repaired it and made it into a work of art by adding sensors (传感器) to the keys. The instrument then became a machine that made sounds from seismic data(地震数据) collected around the world. This was his way of reminding people to never forget the disaster.“The world is full of sounds. We just don’t usually hear them as music.” 61. Sakamoto’s experience on the train showed that __________.A. he was very interested in music B. he could compose with noisesC. he liked to take trains to travel D. he could be easily distracted (分心的)62.

On a fun website called The Deep Sea (https://neal.fun/deep-sea/), you can move down to see the different animals and plant life that live at different depths of the sea. Take a look at some of the sea animals below.It’s cute, almost pink, and about twice as long as a pencil. And it is the deepest fish ever found.In the ocean south of Japan, scientists from the University of Western Australia found snailfish swimming at a depth of 8,336 meters. That’s about the height of Mount Qomolangma! The finding has broken the record for the deepest point from which fish have been seen.“We have spent over 15 years researching these deep snailfish; the biggest depth they can survive is truly surprising,” Professor Alan Jamieson from the research team said in the news.In the place where the snailfish live, the pressure (压力) is 1,000 times greater than that at sea level. To take high pressure, the fish grows a soft skeleton (骨骼). It is also difficult to find food in the deep sea. So the snailfish have a gelatinous (凝胶状的) body without scales (鳞片). This helps the fish cut down the energy used when swimming.“They have nearly cut off everything that a fish has that is kind of unnecessary,” said Jamieson. However, the fish’s sticky (黏的) skin is also very fragile (脆弱的). They would quickly melt (融化) if brought to the surface!66. What did scientists find about snailfish A. It is a kind of fish that looks like a pencil.B. It is the cutest fish they’ve ever seen.C. It has something to do with snails.D. It was at the deepest point at which fish have been found.67. How do snailfish get used to their living environment A. They have their own special way to hunt for food in the deep sea.B. Their hard skeleton can take high pressures.C. They have gelatinous scales that help them swim quickly.D. Their special body structure saves energy and can bear high pressure.68.The underlined word “survive” in paragraph 4 means “___________”.A. keep on living B. stop living C. die out D. die from69. From the last paragraph, we can infer (推断) that __________.A. the snailfish can live in many different environmentsB. the skin of a snailfish is suitable to make clothesC. it’s hard to keep the snailfish as a pet in a fish bowlD. it is easy for scientists to do experiments on the snailfish70.What would be the best title for the passage A.

On a fun website called The Deep Sea (https://neal.fun/deep-sea/), you can move down tosee the different animals and plant life that live at different depths of the sea. Take a look at some ofthe sea animals below.It’s cute, almost pink, and about twice as long as a pencil. And it is the deepest fish ever found.In the ocean south of Japan, scientists from the University of Western Australia found snailfishswimming at a depth of 8,336 meters. That’s about the height of Mount Qomolangma! The finding hasbroken the record for the deepest point from which fish have been seen.“We have spent over 15 years researching these deep snailfish; the biggest depth they can survive istruly surprising,” Professor Alan Jamieson from the research team said in the news.In the place where the snailfish live, the pressure (压力) is 1,000 times greater than that at sea level.To take high pressure, the fish grows a soft skeleton (骨骼). It is also difficult to find food in the deepsea. So the snailfish have a gelatinous (凝胶状的) body without scales (鳞片). This helps the fish cutdown the energy used when swimming.“They have nearly cut off everything that a fish has that is kind of unnecessary,” said Jamieson.However, the fish’s sticky (黏的) skin is also very fragile (脆弱的). They would quickly melt (融化)if brought to the surface!66. What did scientists find about snailfish A. It is a kind of fish that looks like a pencil.B. It is the cutest fish they’ve ever seen.C.
