The lake is filled with halobacteria mic
10、roorganisms that produce a pink-colored protein when absorbing energy from the sun. Some also put the color down to brine shrimp (盐水虾), which boom in the salty environment. Lake HillierLake Hillier is located on Middle Island off the southern coast of Western Australia. Most people believe the deep
11、color comes from a combination of algae and salt-loving halobacteria. However, theres a bit of mystery to Hillier. Other pink lakes change color depending on the season, the angle of the sun or air temperature. Hillier remains the same shade of pink for the whole year. LagunaColoradaThough it may be
12、 described as a “pink” lake. Laguna Colorada in Bolivia is often characterized as “red” or “red-orange”. Salt-loving algae and bacteria help to create this color, but sediments (沉积物) from the nearby rocks also affect the waters appearance. Like some of the other pink salt lakes, this one draws flami
13、ngos (火烈鸟). Las Salinas de TorreviejaThe pink water of Las Salinas de Torrevieja in Spain is thought to be good for health and people claim improvement in their skin and lung conditions after a bath in it.

In the early 1800s, a group of trappers called “mountain men” would venture into mountains for days and weeks
16、 at a time. Theyd return with animal furs that people could use for clothing. At an event called a “rendezvous”, the mountain men would trade the furs with people who lived nearby. When the rendezvous was over, the mountain men would go back into the wild to collect more furs.At the annual Trappers
17、Rendezvous, an event hosted in Kansas, hundreds of children gather for a weekend of exciting activities. One of the highlights; trading, of course. At most camps, trading is just a side activity. At the Trappers Rendezvous, its part of the learning process. “One of the craziest things I traded was f
18、ive multi-tools for a lighter and a knife,” says 12-year-old Gabriel Rodgers.The Trappers Rendezvous also features a series of stations where children can practice skills that could be applied to the old days of the mountain men or to a modern campout. They learned how to start fires without matches
19、, and how to throw tomahawks (战斧) at wooden targets, “I had never thrown a tomahawk before,” says Jaden Bernard, 12. “You have to learn how to hold it and how hard to throw it. I had one bounce right off the target.”Throughout the event, participants also learned about rea-life mountain men. Adults
20、dressed in period clothing were available to tell old adventure stories. Take, for example, Hugh Glass, a mountain man who was attacked by a bear in 1823. His companions thought there was no way hed survive his injuries, so they left him in the woods to die. But Glass didnt die. Instead, he made his
21、 way to safety over the next six weeks, traveling 200 miles in spite of his serious injuries. “It takes you back in time to how they had to hunt, how they built their shelters and how things happened back then,” 14-year-old Chris Cooper says.4. What did the mountain men do at the “rendezvous” event?

23、ar the way he did.B. By building a shelter similar to his.C. By listening to a story happening to him.D. By wearing period clothing to act out his story.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To explain the history of trading.B. To describe mountain mens life.C. To introduce a youth gathering event.
24、D. To teach some survival skills in the wild.CSugar cane (甘蔗) contains around 10% sugar. But that means it contains around 90% non-sugar the material known as bagasse (甘蔗渣) which remains once the sugar-bearing juice has been squeezed out of the cane. World production of cane sugar was 185m tonnes in
25、 2017. That results in a lot of bagasse. At the moment, most of this is burned. Often, it fuels local generators, so it is not wasted. But Zhu Hongli, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University in Boston thinks it can be put to better use. With a bit of improvement bagasse makes an excellent r
26、eplacement for the plastic used for disposable food containers such as coffee cups, says Dr. Zhu. Dr. Zhu is not the first person to have this idea. But previous attempts tended not to survive contact with liquids. She thought she could overcome that by combining the bagasse pulp (浆状物) with another
27、biodegradable (可生物降解的) material. She discovered that the main reason past efforts failed is that bagasse is composed of short fibres which are unable to give resilience (韧性) to the finished product. She therefore sought to insert a suitably long-fibred substance. Bamboo seemed to fit the bill. It gr
28、ows quickly, degrades readily and has appropriately long fibres. When the researchers mixed a small amount of bamboo pulp into bagasse, they found that the short and long fibres combined with each other closely. To put their new material through its paces, Dr. Zhu and her colleagues fist poured hot
29、oil onto it and found that their invention showed resistance to oil. They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to the boiling point, the cup remained good for more than two hours. Though this is not as long as a plastic cup would last it is lon
30、g enough for all practical purposes. Moreover, the new material is twice as strong as the plastic used to make cups, and is definitely biodegradable. When Dr. Zhu buried a cup made out of it in the ground, half of it rotted away within two months.8. What does paragraph l mainly talk about?A. A big i
31、nternational market for cane sugar.B. A plant containing a high content of sugar.C. The large amount of world bagasse production.D. The environmental impact of planting sugar cane.9. What was wrong with previous bagasse products?A. They broke easily when wet.B. They were non-biodegradable.C. They co
32、nsumed little bagasse.D. They had too much resilience.10. What does the underlined part fit the bill in paragraph 4 mean?A. Avoid the attempts.B. Meet the requirements.C. Fill the vacancy.D. Survive the environment.11. What do we know about the cup invented by Dr Zhus team?A. It can satisfy basic us
33、age needs.B. It is hardly as strong as plastic cups.C. It can disappear in two months if buried.D. It is unlikely to be used as an oil container.DOne size doesnt fit all when choosing a school. But parents can be affected by league tables. There are some 2,500 independent schools in the UK and they
34、vary wildly in fees, facilities, performances and purposes. So parents should park their enthusiasm for brand-name schools when fit is far more important. “Too many parents are crazy about a schools reputation and place in the league tables without bothering to see if its right for their child.” say
35、s Gavin Horgan, head of Millfield School in Somerset. “There are some brilliant schools which arent in the tables.” Theres a lot of nonsense spoken about rankings, agrees Jimmy Beale, a former head and founder of the consultancy The English Education. “Good schools perform brilliantly because they s
36、elect brilliant pupils. Parents who go only on brand are doing their child harm.”Whatever they say, its the academic success that parents invariably want. Theres nothing wrong with seeking out high achievers. But a sensitive mid-level student might feel a failure in a school with a strong emphasis o
37、n academic achievement. “Some children are inspired by a bright peer group,” says Horgan, “but others will feel anguished if they are bouncing around the bottom, especially if the bar is set high.”So, what should parents look for? Look for the “value added”, says Beale how schools raise the relative
38、 academic performance of pupils over the years. Shortlist half a dozen schools visit at least four, he advises. Open days are useful, but you can also request an individual tour seeing a school in its everyday mode is more revealing. And the best schools communicate well with parents. “There will be
39、 rocky moments, but if you get on with the staff, minor problems can be resolved,” says Beale. “If you dont feel you could have a good relationship with the school, then walk away.” And then theres the question of culture fit. “Speak to current students and ask, Do I want my son or daughter to be li
40、ke these children?” says Beale.12. What does the author stress about choosing a school in paragraph 1?A. Reputation tells a lot.B. Think twice before you act.C. Experience is the best teacher.D.

What does Beale suggest parents do while picking schools?A Look at a schools daily routine.B. Talk to current students parents.C. Visit ea
42、ch school at least four times.D. Consult the school staff on open days.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项What is the best sport for your body type?Just because someone has dreamt of playing football from childhood does not mean it is the best sport for him or her. Fin
43、ding the sport your body is best suited to can make a big difference to how much you enjoy it and how good at it you are.A person with an ectomorph body type is tall and slim with little fat or muscle.

44、ing on weight because of a fast metabolism (新陈代谢). _16_ . What suits ectomorphs is endurance sports.

45、e muscular and they have broad shoulders and narrow hips. Mesomorphs can put on or lose weight easily and build muscle quickly. _18_ .

This body type is not suited for agility (敏捷) and speed, but strength activities like wresting or powerlifting can be a great fit. It is important to note that t
47、he three body types are extremes. No one is 100% ectomorph or completely endomorph. _20_ .

Everyone is a bit of a mixB. I
48、f you want to be a world championC. If a person with this body type is very tallD. A person with this body type has more choice of sportsE.
