【原文】
Thank you for attending this public hearing on our new Severe Weather Warning System. I’m Helen Dunley. First, I’d like to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside. Now, it's important to remember that we will test the system every Saturday at noon, so don't worry about the noise at that time. It's a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and make sure you can hear them in your neighborhood. Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system. The loud noises are activated by city officials after we receive warnings from the national weather service. In other words, you might hear a warning on the national news before you hear a warning here. If you do hear one, what should you do? First, take cover. Our city doesn't have public shelters, so go to the inside of any building, away from windows. Second, wait for reports on local media. Finally, stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.

【题目】 The seabird population on a small British island off the coast Devon and South Wales has increased quickly following the removal of rats.
There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched ‘in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ((RSPB)) ), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.
Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations. "
Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious."It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "
A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.
【1】Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?
A. To kill invasive species.B. To save seabirds in danger.
C. To keep balance in nature.D. To decrease the rat’s number.
【2】What can we infer about the rat removal project?
A. It is favored by animal rights groups.
B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.
C. It has protected 10% of species on UK’s 169 islands.
D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.
【3】What will be done next according to Dean Jones?
A. Plan the future of seabirds.B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.
C. Keep a careful watch for rats.D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A. A news report.B. A research paper.
C. A biology textbook.D. A medical magazine.

【题目】阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
When you’re sitting at your computer, do you work all day without a break? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted (分心）now and again ... to open a few extra tabs， check social media， read a bit of news， keep up with the latest fashion trends， and maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip.
Stop! You’re ‘cyberloafing’. This word is a combination of ‘ cyber’, which means ‘related to computers’, and ‘loafing’, which means ‘ relaxing in a lazy way ’ . We do it， and we do it a lot. A study from the University of Texas suggests we are guilty of this form of procrastination (拖延）for 14% of our working day. On a Friday afternoon， I expect it’s more than that.
I’ll admit to losing myself in cyberloafing. In fact， I’ve already done it in the course of writing this story. Okay， more than once. It can damage your productivity and even your career because according to the University of Texas research， each time a worker gets distracted by the Internet， it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back to work.
More than that， cyberloafing has a dark side， according to a report published in The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. It argues that cyberloafing is connected to several negative personality qualities. People who cyberloaf are more likely to be selfish and tricky.
Why do we do it? For some， it’s most likely an escape from what they’re supposed to be doing. Others might get a feeling of satisfaction from finding a great deal online.
When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips， it’s hard to resist.
How do we solve this problem? If you can truly ask yourself why you are cyberloafing,then that can help identify the base problem. And if that sounds like too much hard work,you could just switch off the Internet for a couple of hours!
So,in the meantime,let me just close those extra tabs.
【1】How is the word "cyberloafing" formed?（不多于8个单词）
【2】What can cyberloafing damage?（不多于6个单词）
【3】Why do people do "cyberloafing"?（不多于13个单词）

【2】 Employees may be working hard to find a particular solution, but cannot come up with anything. Browsing through Facebook can help them gel inspired to find solutions in a different way and be successful at it.
Blocking access to Facebook means that the employer doesn’t trust the employees. People are dissatisfied with the company if they’re not allowed access to Facebook. 【3】 Therefore, allowing access to Facebook means that the employees are given a certain amount of freedom.

It creates a sense of bonding and they get along well with each other. 【4】 Many talented professionals don’t like to join places where Facebook is blocked, and thus companies may lose talented employees.
