阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Leaves will soon make their gradual change to vivid colors of yellow, orange and red as we head through the fall months, but when you can usually expect peak color to arrive depends on where you live.
When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You
— Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first.
— Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well.
— November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November.
Why Do Leaves Change Color
A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall.
What Makes A Good Colorful Season
Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures.
Soil moisture (湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color.
So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight!
21. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region
A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November.
22. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors
A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours.
C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature.
23. What may ruin the full display of peak color
A. The wet soil. B. The tree species.
C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm.
B
37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.
Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting.
Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.
Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards.
Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.”
“My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says.
24. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text
A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes.
B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life.
C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child.
D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background.
25. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3
A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills.
B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China.
C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China.
D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera.
26. What kind of person is Pilotti
A. Original and dedicated B. Adaptable and rigorous
C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera
C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China
C
Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people’s brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.
Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast — not eat anything at all — for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn’t see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren’t even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.
At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.
The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren’t hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.
28. How does Tomova test out the result of the study
A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow.
C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities.
29. What do we know about midbrain
A. It consists of two areas. B. it helps motivate desire for food.
C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends.
30. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity.
C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger.
31. According to the study, what similarity is found between hunger and loneliness
A. They both reduce dopamine production in the midbrain.
B. They can be relieved equally by viewing pictures of food.
C. They cause the brain to respond more strongly to what is missed.
D. They lead to decreased interest in social activities.
D
SYDNEY —Australian scientists have designed a system which uses microwaves to break down plastic into an environmentally friendly by-product.
Head of Electrical Engineering at Australia’s James Cook University, Prof. Mohan Jacob revealed on Thursday that by using microwaves, plastic waste can be converted into biochar(生物炭), charcoal that can be used as a soil conditioner.
“We are developing a processing room, which could process many kinds of plastic materials, up to 5 kilograms of waste,” Jacob said. “It will be a typical example system for the development of biochars from different types of plastics under various conditions.” Jacob explained that microwave energy is used to heat the plastic waste above 600 degrees centigrade within the custom-made room, where it ends up as a biochar, which can then be used to improve the properties of soil.
Currently underway is step one of the project, testing the room, after which, step two will involve improving the energy efficiency of the system and maximizing the yield of by-products. If all goes to plan, step three will be to construct a medium scale waste processing system which is customizable and can be installed remotely.
Jacob said that with the average person using 130 kg of plastic every year, there is an urgent need for developing better ways of processing it.
“Perhaps contrary to popular opinion, plastic is an indispensable material in modern life. It is cheap, competent, lightweight, and has many benefits like maintaining food quality and safety and preventing waste,” he said.
However, “abandoned plastics endanger our marine wildlife, and have begun to enter the food chain. There is an urgent need for developing technologies to recover plastic waste.”
32. How does the system function
A. Microwaves are used to produce plastic.
B. Plastic waste is heated in the microwaves.
C. Plastic waste is cut into pieces and buried into the soil.
D. Microwaves change plastic waste into biochar by heating.
33. Which statement is true according to Jacob
A. Plastic consumption now is acceptable.
B. Plastic should be abandoned in our life.
C. The system of processing plastic has come into use.
D. Finding better ways to deal with plastic waste is urgent.
34. What does “recover” in the last paragraph mean
A. Make up for a loss in time.
B. Find or regain lost possession.
C. Extract or recycle an energy source for reuse.
D. Return to a normal state of health, mind or strength.
35. What does the passage mainly tell about
A. 3 steps of processing plastic waste.
B. A way of producing plastic products easily.
C. A new system of breaking down plastic waste.
D. A program designed for plastic use in the daily life.

【答案】Take Care of our Eyes and Avoid Myopia
Dear fellow students,
We are living in an era of rapid technological development, when electronic products have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. However, along with this comes a sharp rise of myopia rate among teenagers from 14.5 % of 6-year-olds to over 80% of high school students, which is becoming a worrying phenomenon.
With National Eye Caring Day approaching, our school calls on everyone to pay attention to eye health. Firstly, develop eye caring habits such as looking into the distance every 20-30 minutes to rest our eyes and maintain eye exercises. Secondly, participate actively in outdoor activities to keep our eyes away from electronic products. Most importantly, ensure sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late.
For the health of our eyes, let’s take action now!
