Joe Bagley, a 20-year-old“jungle boy”, has turned his one-bedroom apartment in Loughborough,UK, into a
n indoor jungle with over 1,400 potted plants.
You can find all sorts of plants growing in Joe Bagley's home. They are everywhere, on the dining table, on
bookshelves, even in the bathroom, pretty much wherever there is any spare space that hasn't been occupied by
something else. There isn't that much space available—1,400 potted plants into it have made it look like a sort o
f indoor urban jungle.
“Every room is packed,” the houseplant enthusiast said. “I'm always thinking of new places to put more. I
have some plants in here and I don't know where they came from. I can't remember buying them. It's like I have
an addiction.”
Joe's love for houseplants started when he was 13, after his grandmother, who lives right across the street,
gifted him a cutting of her spider plant. As the South African plant grew and blossomed(开花),so did his love
for houseplants.
These days he works in a garden center, spends his free time either caring for his plants or reading articles
and studies about them, and claims to have developed a kind of“sixth sense” when it comes to taking care of the
m. “I have a sixth sense for knowing when something needs watering. I can just be walking past a plant and I kn
ow,” he said.
Through the last seven years, Joe Bagley has accumulated a wealth of plant knowledge, and he recently cre
ated his own website, where he publishes all sorts of helpful information for fellow plant enthusiasts and he also
answers their questions about plant care. His dream is to one day open his own plant-filled“jungle cafe”, which
he describes as his ideal business.
4. What can we know about Joe Bagley's apartment
A. It is messy and dirty. B. It is lying in a jungle.
C. It is filled with plants. D. It is a tourist attraction.
5. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. Why Joe Bagley's grandmother loved plants. B. How Joe Bagley fell in love with houseplant
s.
C. When Joe Bagley's gift for gardening showed. D. What Joe Bagley loved best about houseplan
ts.
6. Which of the following best describes Joe Bagley regarding plant care
A. Creative and determined. B. Hardworking but careless.
C. Optimistic but inactive. D. Enthusiastic and professional.
7. Why did Joe Bagley create his own website
A. To advertise his“jungle cafe”. B. To raise money from others.
C. To share his plant knowledge. D. To do business with gardeners.

Ride-sharing services are thought to help to reduce pollution since fewer people use private vehicles and ca
use carbon dioxide. However, a new study has found that these services result in much more pollution than othe
r kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environme
ntally-friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found.
Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traf
fic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership.
The new study, carried out by the nonprofit group Union of Concerned Scientists, represents an attempt to
center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution. The research examined the effects of ride-sharing services
on seven of America's largest cities. Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now“result in about
69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace”. The study notes that the same passeng
ers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike, scooter(小型摩托车) or on foot.
One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passen
gers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passen
gers or are driving between pickups.
This situation, known as“deadheading” takes up about 42 percent of the ride-sharing driving activity, the st
udy found. The researchers said that“deadheading” results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one per
son driving in a private vehicle.
The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to i
mprove connections to public transportation centers. The two companies already operate businesses that offer el
ectric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems. In some c
ities, they have also promoted vehicle electrification.
8. According to the text, it is generally thought that car-sharing services .
A. lower the price of private cars B. guarantee a healthier lifestyle
C. greatly cut down travel expenses D. are environmentally-friendly
9. What is the biggest cause of more ride-sharing pollution
A. The so-called“deadheading”, B. The old way vehicles travel.
C. The huge number of passengers. D. The unfamiliar ride-sharing trips.
10. What can we say about the study
A. It is opposed by ride-sharing services. B. It is actually of practical significance.
C. It requires improving in the long term. D. It earns much money for Uber and Lyft.
11. From which part of a newspaper is the text most probably taken
A. Travel. B. Technology. C. Economy. D. Environment.
D
An international team of specialists, led by the University of Bristol, is close to telling secrets about the an cient decorated ostrich(鸵鸟) eggs.
The team, led by Bristol's Dr. Tamar Hodos, examined ostrich eggs from the British Museum's collection.
Using advanced scanning technology, Dr. Caroline Cartwright, senior scientist at the BritishMuseum could stud
y the eggs' chemical makeup to pinpoint these luxury(奢侈) goods' origin and how they were made.
In the study, the researchers describe for the first time the surprisingly complex system behind ostrich egg
production. This includes evidence about where the ostrich eggs were sourced, if the ostriches were wild, and h
ow the methods for production were related to techniques and materials in specific areas.
Dr. Hodos and colleagues believe eggs were taken from wild birds’ nests. This was no ordinary egg-hun
t—— ostriches could be extremely dangerous so there was a huge risk when taking eggs from wild birds. “We a
lso find eggs require time to dry before the shell can be car ved and therefore require safe storage. This has effe
ct on economy, since storage needs a long-term investment and this would also add to an egg's value,” said Dr.
Hodos.
Dr. Hodos explained, “We are assessing not only how ancient luxuries were produced but also how they w
ere used. These questions are incredibly important for our own society today, in which the same object may hav
e different social or symbolic meanings. Such knowledge can lead to tolerance and respect in a multi-cultural so
ciety. If we can understand these mechanisms in the past, for which we have long-term outcomes in terms of so
cial development, we can use this knowledge to better inform our own society.”
Dr. Caroline Cartwright said, “The British Museum is delighted to cooperate with colleagues at the univers
ities. We look forward to continuing to work with university partners to explore the Museum's collection.”
12. What is the meaning of the underlined word“pinpoint” in paragraph 2
A. Hide. B. Make up. C. Create. D. Figure out.
13. What does Dr. Hodos probably think of the ostrich eggs
A. Their value mostly depends on their storage methods. B. It isn't an easy task to make ancient luxury ostrich eggs. C. Their process of production is simpler than we expected. D. The methods for their production are impossible to track.
14. Why is it significant to study the ostrich eggs
A. It can offer inspiration for today's society. B. It can save more ostriches from dying out.
C. It can help to rebuild a new ancient society. D. It can improve the British Museum's status.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Origin of Decorated Ostrich Eggs B. The Explanation on Wild Ostrich Eggs
C. The Research on Ancient Ostrich Eggs D. The Importance of Luxury Ostrich Eggs

16 Not only do you have to have something worthwhile to say, but you also have to say it in a way that c
onnects with your audience. If you have ever delivered a speech where you failed to make a connection with yo
ur audience, I have good news. In this post, I'm going to discuss how to actually connect with your audience.
Talk about What Your Audience Wants You to Talk about
This may seem kind of basic, but how do you know you' re even talking about the things your audience
wants you to talk about Do some basic audience research by contacting people who will be in the
audience and interviewing them about a few of the questions they want answered. 17
Refer to Audience Members by Name
Have you ever noticed how politicians tend to start speeches by mentioning a few of the audience member
s by name 18 People love to receive recognition, especially if it's acknowledgment in front of others. So, the
next time you speak, don't be afraid to drop names of people who are in the audience while you' re speaking.
Have a Sense of Humor
You ever wonder why so many speeches start with the speaker making a joke. When a speaker starts with a
joke, it sends a signal to the audience that they can relax. Unfortunately, audiences have been conditioned by ba
d speakers to expect to be bored. 19 Including a little humor in your speech is actually a great way to get your
points across.
Wrap Your Points in Relevant Stories
20 Nearly every audience would much rather hear stories than receive the information in any other way.
But it's not enough to just tell funny or amusing stories. You need to tell stories which illustrate your points.
A. Giving a speech is no easy task. B. There's a reason why they do that.
C. The best speakers understand the power of stories. D. First of all, you should get to know your audience.
E. It's all too easy for audience members' minds to wander.
F. It's much better to find these things out in advance rather than afterwards.
G. Funny stories are enough to narrow the gap between speakers and the audience.

generation, while 30 companies were in charge of power distribution and customer service. Méndez Galain's
plan changed the relationship to the 31 , so that private companies would be in charge of setting up and 32
the wind farms, while the state-owned power companies would distribute that energy to its customers.
The strategy worked 33 well. Just within a few years, Méndez Galain had 34 what he had set out to d

Astronomers have published a major finding 36 (recent): A black hole has been releasing energy from a
small star 37 was shredded(吞噬) in 2018, after two years in which it didn't emit(发射)any such material.
“Super unusual,” said Yvette Cendes, an astronomer at Harvard. “We' ve never really seen this before to this deg

Researchers made the 38 (discover) when they used a 39 (power) radio telescope facility to check som

1 (call) tidal disruption(潮汐破坏) events, or TDEs.
What they found was that one of the TDEs was emitting energy at an unusual speed 42 at a very surprisi

This behavior is different from what has been observed in black holes before, in two ways. First,the timing:
it's more common 43 (see) radio emissions from black holes within the first few months after swallowing a st

In most cases of black holes swallowing stars, perhaps 99%, the outflow is lower in energy. And in 1% of
cases, that outflow, at about half the speed of light, rarely 45 (occur).

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。
When I was a boy I had the craziest bus ride to school everyday. First I had to get up early, wolf down my
breakfast, and walk across the shaky and swinging wooden bridge that crossed the river between our house and
the main road. Then I stood and waited for the bus to arrive. When it got thereI climbed in. I was always one of
the first ones on the bus. Then even though the bus was only 4 miles from school, I started a ride that would last
more than 45 minutes.
First, the bus went in the opposite direction for 6 miles, parked and waited for another bus to transfer kids o
nto it. Then it started back, but instead of going straight to my school, it started up a long and winding mountain
road pausing at every house to pick up more kids. The road swirled(盘绕)around the mountain and back down
with the bus getting fuller, louder, and noisier with each stop.Finally, it arrived at the high school to drop off the
older kids before heading on to my grade school.But even then it didn't go straight there but instead headed do
wn another rock y dirt road that was full of potholes(坑洼) to pick up even more children. I usually got to the sc
hool stressed, tired, and just before the first class bell rang.
Thankfully, the ride home was different. During it the last kids picked up became the first kids dropped off.
But I was different. Since my house was along the way, I got dropped off after just 10 minutes or so. I remembe
r I would literally run across that shaky old bridge because I was so happy to be home again. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Looking back now I can see my whole life here has been one crazy long bus ride.
Do your best to enjoy the ride this life gives you.

One possible version:
Looking back now I can see my whole life here has been one crazy long bus ride. It has been full of stops,
starts,twists, turns and lots of passengers, some mean but most kind. Sometimes the scenery has been beautiful
and sometimes not so much. Sometimes the road has been smooth and sometimes rocky. Through it all, though,
I have taken comfort in knowing that one day I will be going home again. I will be so happy to be there too. I
will run into the arms of those who went before me, have glory in the love I have shared, dance in the light, and
be welcomed home with our family's smile.
Do your best to enjoy the ride this life gives you. Take the trip with love in your heart and kindness in your
soul.Make the journey better for those you meet along the way. And then when your time here is done, you can
get off the bus,walk into the light, and find yourself so happy to be home again!
