9、th, 1898 by the man it was named after-Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knollys Tunnel has stood up to the earths movement over so many years.Much research is bein

10、g done on the tunnel. At the top of Knollys Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knollys Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stone

11、s. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were ther

12、e for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knollys Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knollys Tunnel.On the drive to Knoll

13、ys Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets.

14、hitecture, Knollys Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad.

The passage above is probably taken from _. A. a geography textbook B. a travel journal C. a sports report D. a hea

17、lth and fitness magazineCBlue Planet IIs latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomach

18、s. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in

19、the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do k

20、now, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic i

21、n their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why s

22、ome people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not

23、 a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle o

24、r a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science? A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult. B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal. C. The world couldnt possibly function withou

25、t plastics. D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about cl

26、imate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global i

27、ssue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hook

28、ed. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.Im partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedl

29、y more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest

30、. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at

31、something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调

32、). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures dont exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we dont hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldnt be surprising that mathematicians were better at learni
