Growing up, Ikram spent much of his time watching people play snooker, a game no one dreamed he could e
10、ver play. He says he does not remember exactly how the idea of playing struck him. But at some point, he started practicing the game in secret. “He would eagerly watch other boys play.

17、c Ocean's Mariana Trench (马里亚纳海沟), which lies miles below the sea surface. According to a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, even in this remote area, creatures cannot escape pollution.A team of researchers recently sent a remotely operated vehicle into the depths of the Mari
18、ana Trench. They found that extraordinarily high levels of forbidden industrial chemicals are polluting marine life more than 7 miles deep in the trench. The small hard-shelled marine life that the robotic submarine (潜艇) brought to the surface was polluted with toxic (有毒的) chemicals, with toxin leve
19、ls 50 times greater than those of the most heavily polluted rivers in the world.These pollution levels were not the only alarming aspect of the discovery. The types of compounds found were all considered “persistent organic pollutants” (POPs), meaning they stick around in the environment for a very
20、long time. Two of the most common types are PCBs and PBDEs. PCBs were once used in many industrial applications, but were outlawed in the United States in the 1970s after being linked to cancer. Similarly, PBDEs were used in a wide range of products from electronics to couch cushions. Neither chemic
21、al breaks down in the environment.These compounds stick to the surface of materials like plastic. Many creatures mistakenly eat this colorful but toxic material, causing the POPs to build up in their bodies, lurking in their fat tissues. When these sea creatures die, their POP-riddled bodies sink to
22、 the ocean floor, where deep-sea marine life eat their remains. POPs are therefore transferred to other creatures along the food chain.The Mariana Trench is many miles away from any industrial source. This suggests that these pollutants travel over long distances despite having been prohibited world
23、wide decades ago.8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The decrease of polluted creatures in the food chain.B. Using remote control in research on marine pollution.C. Pollution of the deep sea by persistent toxic chemicals.D. Types of chemical pollution caused by industrial applications.9. Which of
24、 the following is closest in meaning to “POP-riddled” in paragraph 4?A. Operated by POPs.B. Filled with POPs.C. Completed with POPs.D. Deserted by POPs.10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. PCBs are often used in making electronic products.B. Chemicals washed dow
25、n to the ocean stay on the surface.C. The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is free from pollution.D. A robotic vehicle was used to help study pollution in the Mariana Trench.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Marine pollution poses a threat to human health.B. Strict re
26、gulations are being developed to stop ocean pollution.C. PCBs and PBDEs become less harmful over long periods of time.D. Chemical pollution is more serious in rivers than in industrial areas.（4）Drinking coffee as soon as one wakes up from a night's sleep greatly affects metabolism （新陈代谢） and blo
27、od sugar responses. Scientists published this in the British Journal of Nutrition,In the study, the UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal night
28、9;s sleep, and then again after a greatly disturbed night's sleep. In the third, their sleep was similarly, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before having the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drinkin each experiment. Results showed
29、that one night of disturbed sleep did not worsen the participants9 blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfas
30、t, UK researchers found that our bodies, ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee through a range of different metabolic markers, researchers found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism,
31、 drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee-the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This study is important and has far-reaching health influen
32、ces, and it indeed shakes some coffee drinkers. Up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go. "said Professor James Bette, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition at the Unive
33、rsity of Bath.12. How did the UK researchers get the result of the experiment?A. By theoretical analysis.B. By comparative experiments.C. By doing questionnaires.D. By consulting journals.3. What can we learn from the experiment?A. A poor night sleep surely affects blood sugar responses.B. Drinking
34、coffee after breakfast docs much harm to health.C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on one's metabolism.D. Drinking coffee at different lime has different effects on health.14. What does James Bette think of the study?A. It makes no sense.B. It is limited and blind.C. It remains to be cont
35、inued.D. It is particular and precise.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Harms of drinking coffee before breakfast.B. What weakens ones' blood sugar responses.C. How much coffee one should drink a day.D. The effective procedure for blood sugar control.Part B第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中
36、选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It has been suspected that whale sharks, the biggest fish in the sea, are long-lived, and now this has been confirmed using a carbon dating technique. 16 Steven Campana is a researcher from the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. 17 It makes a big difference whether they ar
37、e fast-growing and short-lived, or slow-growing and long-lived. 18 They don't have the bony structures in their ears that are used to work out the age of most fish. Instead, sharks age can be measured based on growth rings in their cartilaginous vertebrae (软骨椎骨)，and these growth rings form at di
38、fferent rates in different species.Two decades ago, Campanas team showed that growth-ring-based age could be checked by looking at levels of the carbon-14 isotope (同位素) in the rings. 19 For instance, it was thought that great white sharks lived only 12 to 15 years, but recent studies have shown indi
39、viduals as old as 73.Now the carbonm-14 technique has been applied to the preserved remains of two adult whale sharks. It shows that one of these whales was at least 50 years old. 20 In 2016, a study using the same method reported that Greenland sharks are the longest living vertebrates (脊椎动物) possi
40、bly living as long as 500 years. Campana is doubtful about such extreme life span, but it is clear that they can live more than a century.A. Other individuals may live even longer.B. But working out how long sharks live is difficult.C. A lot of animals including sharks can live for decades.D. The sh
41、arks are now able to survive in low oxygen environments.E. In his opinion, knowing how long animals live is important for conservation.F. It turns out that these animals live for at least 50 years and probably far longer.G. This technique has proved that the age of many sharks has been guessed wrong.1-3 CBD 4-7. CCB B 8-11 .CBDA 12-15.
