For swimmers and surfers, sharks without teeth may sound like a relief. Yet a new study warns that this could one day become a reality, as ocean acidification threatens the sharp teeth that these top predators rely on to survive.
Sharks have several rows of teeth, and new ones usually replace lost ones quickly. But researchers found that rising ocean acidity may damage teeth faster than they can be replaced, making it harder for sharks to feed. This could affect both shark populations and the balance of the marine ecosystem.
Ocean acidification occurs when the sea absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, lowering pH levels. By the year 2300, the ocean’s pH may drop from today’s 8.1 to about:7.3. Such a change could bring serious challenges to many sea creatures.
To test the impact, scientists placed 60 shark teeth into tanks. One tank had normal seawater (pH 8.1) and the other was more acidic (pH 7.3). After eight weeks, teeth in the acidic water showed about twice as much damage. The teeth had come from blacktip reef sharks at a German aquarium, which were collected after the sharks naturally lost them.
According to lead researcher Maximilian Baum, acidification adds to other threats sharks already face, such as overfishing and loss of prey (猎物). Earlier research also showed that shark skin scales, which are tooth-like structures, suffer similar harm. More sensitive shark species, especially those with slower tooth replacement, may face greater risks.
Still, Baum believes sharks may adapt by replacing teeth more quickly or strengthening them. Shark tooth expert Lisa Whitenack added that even corroded teeth might still function. She stressed the need for future studies to test whether damaged teeth can still cut or puncture prey effectively.
The findings highlight the importance of reducing human-made carbon emissions. Protecting sharks’ teeth is not only about the animals themselves, but also about the health of the entire ocean ecosystem.
4. What can be inferred from the study’s findings
A. Sharks will evolve larger jaws soon.
B. Artificial lighting brings sharks more food.
C. Cutting carbon emissions helps protect sharks.
D. Most sharks already adapt well to acidic waters.
5. What did the shark tooth experiment show
A. Teeth grew stronger in acidic water.
B. Acidic water doubled tooth damage.
C. pH 7.3 water improved tooth strength.
D. Teeth in pH 8.1 water remained perfect.
6. What does Lisa Whitenack’s statement suggest
A. Corroded teeth are useless for hunting.
B. Damaged teeth need functional testing.
C. Sharks will evolve new teeth structures.
D. Acidification only affects tooth appearance.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Sharks’ Teeth at Risk from Acid.
B. Why Sharks lose Teeth in Old Age.
C. New Discoveries About Shark Teeth.
D. The Role of Shark Teeth in Marine Ecosystems.

In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener. ” After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a ‘more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
8. What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers
A. Speaking a little less is preferred.
B. Speaking half the time is the best.
C. Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D. Listeners fail to control the conversations.
9. How was the research carried out
A. By analyzing speaking habits.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By listing examples.
D. By collecting data.
10. What is the disadvantage of the research
A. The conversation time is limited.
B. Further study is hard to continue.
C. The findings are less widely appliable.
D. Interactions with strangers are missing.
11. In which situation can the research finding be applied
A. Attending a family gathering.
B. Partying with your friends.
C. Meeting a new teacher.
D. Making a public speech.
D
Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces.
Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares.
Their results show, with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees, hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent.
Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species.
The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building material.
12. What does the study at TUM focus on
A. The best locations for flora and fauna.
B. Factors to be considered in square design.
C. The impact of local conditions on biodiversity.
D. The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along.
13. What can we know from paragraph 3
A. Animals expand in sealed parks. B. Open parks support more biodiversity.
C. Open parks are not fit for birds to stay. D. Closed parks are as good as open ones.
14. What does the study say about urban greenery
A. It varies in attracting species. B. It will replace artificial lights.
C. It has nothing to do with species. D. It is well planned in urban buildings.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Enhancing Urban Development: Considering Local Species’ Needs
B. Human-animal Coexistence: Integrating Nature into City Designing
C. Urban Ecosystems: Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces
D. Biodiversity in the City: Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals

47. 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。
In Willow brook, a small quiet town by a slow river, the old lantern by the water burned every night without fail. It was a simple glass lamp on a wooden post (杆), kept burning with oil and devotion. Fishermen used its steady light to find their way home. Children whispered as they walked past, saying it kept the scary dark under the old bridge away. For most people, it was just a common sight — like the river’s gentle waves or the birds in the trees. But for Elena, it was the only string holding her shaky world together.
Elena grew up in a house where silence filled the corners. Her father, a poor fisherman, spoke little and worked late. At twelve, she often did her homework by the window, watching the flame shining across the water, steady while everything else shifted. When her father forgot dinner or came home exhausted, she would imagine that the lantern was speaking for him: I am still here. I am still light.
Trouble came suddenly one autumn. A terrible storm hit Willow brook. Trees were bent in half, and riverbanks were flooded. When night came without the familiar light, Elena felt empty, like her heart missed a beat. Early the next morning, she ran to the riverbank. The lantern lay in the mud, its glass broken into small pieces. Villagers stood around shaking their heads, saying another old thing was gone. Worse, the town meeting had already decided to put up a new floodlight — brighter, easier, more modern. No one cared about the old lantern.
Elena’s heart was heavy. To her, the lantern was more than a light. It was her father’s silent company and a steady comfort. That warmth could never be replaced by cold electricity. Elena suggested fixing the lantern, but most people thought it was unnecessary. Even her father said she was wasting time. But only Elena knew what the lantern meant to her.

【答案】Dear David,
I’m happy to share details about Chinese family gatherings with mon forms include weekend dinners, holiday outings to scenic spots, and grand reunions during important festivals when relatives from far away gather.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, my whole family got together at grandma’s. We made mooncakes with red bean filling, talked about our recent lives while sipping tea, and admired the bright full moon. The warm atmosphere, mixed with the sweet taste of mooncakes, made me feel the strong bond of our family. It was truly a cozy and unforgettable evening!
Yours

【答案】
Elena decided to follow her heart. She gathered the broken glass pieces carefully, like collecting fragments of her childhood memories. With trembling hands, she cleaned each piece and wrapped them in an old cloth. Her father watched silently from the doorway, his rough hands gripping the frame. Though he said nothing, his eyes softened when he saw her determination. Elena spent days searching for a glassblower in the next town, finally finding an elderly craftsman who agreed to help. Together, they painstakingly restored the lantern, its glass now bearing delicate cracks — like scars telling a story of survival.
Elena carried the lantern to the riverbank and placed it on the wooden post. As dusk fell, she lit the wick, and the flame flickered to life, casting a golden glow across the water. The villagers paused, their voices fading into quiet awe. Even the new floodlight seemed dim in comparison to the warmth radiating from the old lantern. That night, her father stood beside her, his calloused hand resting on her shoulder. The lantern’s light danced in his eyes, and for the first time in years, he smiled. In that moment, Elena knew — some things, like love and memory, could never be replaced.
