A
Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes.Here is the information sheet they have made.
Part 1：Facts
The Great Lakes —Ontario，Huron，Michigan，Erie and Superior —are five freshwater giants.They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces.
Part 2：Comparison
● Lake Ontario
This lake has the smallest surface area at 7，336 square miles.Three dams（大坝）control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.
● Lake Huron
This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island，the world's largest freshwater island.
● Lake Michigan
It is joined to Lake Huron by the five-mile-wide Straits（海峡） of Mackinac，though they are still classed as two separate bodies.
● Lake Erie
With a depth of 64 metres，this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes.It is generally the warmest，but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.
● Lake Superior
At 406 metres deep，the distance from the lake's surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches.
Part 3：
Covering an area of 94，250 square miles，these huge bodies of water take up more than one-fifth of the world's total freshwater.The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people，important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships，and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture.They also support wildlife，the national economy and the environment.
11.Alex draws a map of the Great Lakes.Which number stands for Lake Ontario？ ______
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
12.Alex wants to try ice fishing as early as possible.Which lake will he most probably choose？ ______

Carl Behnke，a food safety expert at Purdue University，had long been curious about the actual cleanliness of his reusable water bottle.He put paper towels into the bottle and，upon pulling them out，was shocked to see how dirty they turned out to be.This inspired him to design a study.Behnke and his workmates stopped passers-by along a road at Purdue University and asked if they would be happy to lend their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were.
"One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn't want to know the results，" recalls Behnke. "Basically，they knew that their cleaning habits were poor，with some even hardly thinking about cleaning their bottles."
Research shows that reusable water bottles can carry millions of bacteria （细菌）.A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75，000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day.Contamination （污染） often comes from the drinker's hands，mouth，and the outside of the bottle.Those who don't wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs like E.coli into their bottles.While most bacteria are harmless，they can put some people at risk，especially those with poor health.
Besides，drinks that have sugar can feed bacteria，making the situation worse.Although there is a small chance that we get serious illnesses from reusable bottles，it's still important to keep good hygiene （卫生）.
To cut down bacterial growth，it's suggested to clean your water bottle regularly.Behnke's research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts.People should clean their bottles with hot water and soap，letting the bottle sit under water for about ten minutes before washing.It's important to let the bottle air-dry to prevent wetness buildup，which encourages bacteria.And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help cut down contamination.
14.Why does the writer mention the fact that Carl Behnke put paper towels into the bottle in the first paragraph？ ______
A. To lead in the study. B. To give a solution.
C. To explain a subject. D. To tell a story.
15.What can be inferred about the people in the study according to Paragraph 2？ ______
A. They actively helped with the study.
B. They thought the study was necessary.
C. They were confident about the study results.
D. They were clear they didn't take good care of their bottles.
16.What's a suggested way to reduce bacteria growth？ ______
A. Wiping with clean dry towels.
B. Washing hands regularly with soap.
C. Using brushes with hot soapy water.
D. Washing for about ten minutes each time.
17.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？ ______
A. B.
C. D.

As smartphones are widely used in our lives，more and more people，especially teenagers，find that their verbal （口头的） skills are getting worse.They find it hard to express themselves clearly when talking to others.
Many people consider the overuse of emojis （表情符号） and Internet slang （俚语） to be a main reason.For example，people often use "6" to show they are surprised，and they have trouble clearly expressing how surprised they are to others.As a result，their verbal skills are badly influenced.To change this situation，we students should use exact words more often to tell others our thoughts.
Another reason can be that we hardly ever check the words before texting or speaking.The world of digital communication （数字通信） has provided us with a free environment to comment with others.In such an environment，we may not pay attention to the words we use.Therefore，we may fail to improve our verbal skills in the long run.We need to take digital communication seriously.
Besides，speaking verbally is a good and commonly used way.For example，we can choose to talk to our friends or even some strangers we meet.The only thing we should remember is to use exact words while we are talking.
All in all，our verbal skills will never be improved unless we take action.Talk in a more formal （正式） and exact way from now on.I hope that you can find my suggestions useful in improving your verbal skills.
The widespread use of smartphones is bad for teenagers' ability to express themselves verbally.Here are （1） ______ .First，depending too much on emojis and Internet slang leads to （2） ______ on communicating clearly in words.Second，we often have conversations online （3） ______ .Third，we do fewer spoken exercises now.In order to improve our verbal skills，we should use formal and exact words more often.In short，（ 4） ______ .
