【题目】 The study, published today in the journal PLOS Biology shows that the average body size and number of sharks and other marine predators—vital to maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems—fell significantly near cities with more than 10,000 people and associated fishing boats.
The minimum distance from people and fishing which had no measurable effect was 1,250 kilometers. This is far further than previous studies have suggested and probably reflects the increased distances fishing boats can now travel. As a result, sharks were only observed at 12% of sites monitored.
Lead author Dr. Tom Letessier said, 'Human activity is now the biggest influence on sharks' distribution. Just 13% of the world's oceans can be considered 'wilderness' but sharks and other predators are much more common and significantly larger at distances greater than 1,250 kilometers from people. This suggests that large marine predators are generally unable to thrive near to people and is another clear example of the impact of human overuse on our seas. '
To collect their data, the team analyzed videos taken at 1,041 sites across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, selected to test the biggest possible range of conditions and habitats. Sharks and other free-swimming predators were studied using cameras attached cannisters(炮筒)filled with bait. In total, the team recorded 23,200 animals representing 109 species. These included 841 individual sharks from 19 different species.
Dr. Letessier added, 'Our study also found that shallower water environment, of depths less than 500 meters, were vital for marine predator diversity. We therefore need to identify sites that are both shallow and remote and protect them. However, there are still numerous shallow hot spots near human markets that are not appropriately protected, and this must change. '
【1】According to the study, what happened to sharks and other marine predators?
A.They became less important for keeping healthy ocean ecosystems.
B.They only lived near cities with 10,000 people.
C.They loved swimming after fishing boats.
D.Their average body size and number decreased sharply.
【2】Which of the following statements may Dr. Tom Letessier agree with?
A.Large marine predators can grow well near people.
B.People shouldn't disturb the sea and sea animals.
C.Sharks’ distribution was mainly affected by human activity.
D.Other ecological factors have no impact on sharks’ distribution.
【3】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Introduce a new topic for readers.
B.Introduce the study means used by the team.
C.Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D.Collect data about sharks and other predators.
【4】What can we infer about the perfect environment for marine predator diversity?
A.It should be deeper than 500 meters.
B.It should be spots that are hot enough.
C.It should be shallower and away from humans.
D.It should be spots changed from human markets.

【题目】 One thing that most of us probably can agree on: just about every parent thinks that his or her kid is special. 【1】. Good intentions, however, do not often lead to good outcomes: people who particularly dislike their name-and also if other people think it's an odd (怪异的) and unlikeable name-tend not to be as well-adjusted.
【2】, maybe even something fairly significant, about your parents' religious or ethnic (种族的) background, their level of income or education, maybe even their politics. From what we can tell, your name is not your destiny (命运). The story goes that two brothers in New York were named Loser and Winner by their parents. Loser turned out to have a great life as an upstanding citizen. He was a police detective. 【3】 .
Just think about it for a minute. 【4】 -your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making-to say nothing of luck.
Now, considering all of those heavyweight forces, how much could something as surface as a name really affect your life's outcome? 【5】 , it isn't that hard to change it.
A.Your life is determined by yourself
B.And Winner had been a career criminal
C.A name contains a rich set of information
D.Think about all the things that make you
E.It is true that your name may tell the world something
F.Plus which: if you really think your name is holding you back
G.And part of what makes each of our kids special is the names we give them

【题目】Grammar and Vocabulary
Universities Show “ Red Card” to English Majors
An increasing number of Chinese universities are showing English the “red card” and sending it off the academic playing field. Just last month, five more universities announced that they would no longer offer English as a major, 【1】 CET-4 (大学英语四级考试) will still be required for graduation.
At first sight, it may appear that these universities are downgrading the importance of learning English. In actual fact, they are responding to the economic reality 【2】English majors do not have good job prospects after graduation. And the same holds true for graduates in other Arts majors.
According to MyCOS, the Beijing-based education research group, English graduates, along with those in history, literature and law, have 【3】(low) starting salaries and lowest employment rate. Engineering, economics and science graduates have better job prospects and make twice as much money, with IT graduates 【4】 (make) the most.
In 【5】 1980s, the Chinese government made the study of English a priority as part of its reform and opening-up policy. English majors were in high demand in business and in government because people with good English-language skills were so rare. Today, about 350 million Chinese have studied, or are studying, English. Ten million of them 【6】 (consider) functionally bilingual. So, when an employer looks at a graduate’s résumé , it is assumed that he or she has good English skills.
However, for those of you who truly love English, you should not be discouraged. The demand for English teachers is still high at all levels of education, 【7】in public schools and in private institutions.
Zhang Lu is probably familiar to most of you as the elegant young woman 【8】 (see) standing or sitting slightly behind top government officials when they meet leaders from English-speaking countries. Zhang is a translator. In 2015, she made 54 overseas trips accompanying various leaders such as Li Keqiang. Over the years, she has been the official Chinese/English translator 【9】major international conferences.
Zhang studied English and law at university. She 【10】(plan) to be a teacher, but her skills attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . They offered her a job in the diplomatic service . It is not the career she had planned, but her abilities enabled her to grasp the opportunity.
So, if English is really your passion, let Zhang be your model and just choose a university that has not shown it the “red card.”

【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Honeybee populations in the United States 【1】 (decrease) dramatically over the decades. And a new study suggests that a certain kind of pesticide could be making things 【2】 (bad).
The number of honeybees hasn’t changed much over the past few years, but the overall picture doesn’t look good for an insect that plays 【3】 important role in our food supply. Scientists don’t know for sure 【4】 this is happening. Pesticides and parasites (寄生虫) are the most suspected reasons, and a study recently published in the scientific journal. One suggests that neonicotinolds (烟碱类农药) ,types of pesticides that 【5】 (use) around the world, are incredibly poisonous to honeybees and other insects. Part of the reason for that is because these pesticides appear 【6】 (stick) around in the environment and stay dangerous for longer periods of time.
Though they’re deadly to insects, neonicotinolds are not considered dangerous to humans. An ongoing challenge 【7】 farmers is finding ways to keep other insects away while still 【8】 (protect ) bees. Pesticides may not discriminate between the insects they kill, though neonicotinolds maker says the chemical’s risk to bees is lower when it’s used properly. The U. S. Department of Agriculture says it’s 【9】 (likely) that there’s one magic 【10】 (solve) to the problem, but there are a number of organizations trying to help honeybees.
