Recently, a photo of Maya touched people around the world and now she has b

2、een promised that she will be able to walk again after being given new artificial limbs (假肢). Maya was photographed “walking” actually crawling (爬行), with artificial limbs that her father had made out of plastic tin cans. The photo attracted global concern. Now she is to have a professional operatio

3、n in Turkey.Maya and her father had been living at a refugee camp in the Idlib region of northern Syria, leaving their Aleppo home to avoid the civil war.“Maya was not able to move around and was sitting the whole time in a tent,” said Mr Merhi. “In order to help her to move out of the tent, I had t

4、he idea to fix some soft items to her body to reduce the pressure and then added two empty cans because the plastic was not strong enough to resist the friction (摩擦) with the ground.”“My heart suffers when I see her crawling in front of her friends. Without the war, Maya would play and run together

5、with those kids happily.” The poor father was fighting back tears as he spoke.After her picture was seen around the world, the Turkish Red Crescent arranged to take Maya and her father to a hospital in Istanbul. “Maya will walk,” said Dr Mehmet Zeki Culcu, the specialist treating her. Dr Culcu said

6、he had been “Very touched” by the photograph of Maya “walking” with her tins and had decided to take on the cost of her artificial legs. “We have been connected by people all over the world who want to make the donation.

9、adline. During the search for the plane, hundreds of objects off the Australian coast regarded as aircraft remains (残骸) turned out to be broken fishing equipment or plastic bags. People then realized theres more garbage out there than we think.“Its a good chance for people to understand our oceans a

10、re garbage dumps (垃圾场),” said Kathleen Dohan, a scientist who maps ocean surface currents. “This is a problem in every ocean basin (流域).”The objects usually move to regions known as garbage zones. These zones are huge areas where objects gather but float freely. So its possible for sailing ships to

11、accidentally sail into a garbage zone and come across rubbish.That was the case in Transpacific Yacht Race in the summer of 2013, when the ships came across the trash from the 2011 Japanese earthquake that had floated into the Great Pacific Garbage Zone.“There were a dozen or more reports about cras

12、hes, and the ships were damaged by the floating wood,” said Nikolai Maximenko, an oceanographer who has been studying the earthquake trashs movement across the Pacific.“There are some similarities between that and the Malaysian plane accident,” he said. “In both cases, the remains of the ship or pla

13、ne were mixed with the garbage. We couldnt find anything recognizable on satellite images. An observation system needs to be built.”About 90 percent of the sea trash is plastic, according to Marcus Eriksen, an ocean scientist who works to reduce plastic pollution. “I have pulled plastic from hundred

14、s of seabirds bodies,” He said. “Sea turtles and whales are also big consumers of plastic.”“You can see the fish bite the plastic, so gradually, the plastic breaks into smaller and smaller pieces,” said Maximenko. “After it reaches certain sizes, it can be eaten and then quickly disappears. Marine l

15、ife digests (消化) plastics, with disastrous consequences.”So we must take action to purify the marine environment. But what are we supposed to do?4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Many garbage dumps are built by the sea.B. The ocean was clean before Flight 370s missing.C. Ocean po

16、llution is very serious all over the world.D. Aircraft remains are the main pollutants in the sea.5. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The ship crash.B. The floating wood.C. The earthquake trash.D. The satellite image.6. What do Marcus and Maximenko intend to tell us in

17、 Paragraphs 7 and 8?A. They have saved many kinds of sea animals.B. Plastic waste is a big threat to ocean creatures.C. Sea turtles can digest plastics in the sea properly.D. They have carefully observed the fish9 s eating habits.CTyrannosaurus rex, one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs on the pl

18、anet, had an “air conditioner” in its head, suggest scientists from the University of Missouri and University of Florida. Actually, they are challenging over a century of previous belief. In the past, scientists believed two large holes in the roof of a Tyrannosaurus rexs head were filled with muscl

19、es that assisted with jaw movements.But that statement puzzled Casey Holliday, a professor of anatomy (解剖学) and lead researcher on the study. “Its really strange for a muscle to come up from the jaw, make a 90-degree turn, and go along the roof of the head,” Holliday said. “Yet, we now have a lot of

20、 convincing evidence for blood vessels (血管) in this area, based on our work with alligators (短吻鳄) and other reptiles.”Using thermal imaging devices (热成像设备), researchers examined alligators at the Alligator Farm Zoological Park in Florida. They believe their evidence offers a new theory and insight i

21、nto the anatomy of a Tyrannosaurus rexs head. “An alligators body heat depends on its environment, said Kent Vliet, a professor at the University of Floridas Department of Biology. “Therefore, we noticed when it was cooler and the alligators were trying to warm up, our thermal imaging showed big hot

22、 spots in these holes in the roof of their heads, which means there is a rise in temperature. Yet, later in the day when it was warmer, the holes appeared dark, like they were turned off to keep cool. This has proved that alligators have blood vessels in their heads to make the change of body heat p

23、ossible.”Holliday and his team took their thermal imaging data and examined fossils of dinosaurs and crocodiles to see how the holes in their heads changed over time. “We know that, like the Tyrannosaurus rex, alligators have holes in the roof of their heads, which are filled with blood vessels inst

24、ead of muscles,” said Larry Witmer, a professor of anatomy at Ohio University. “Yet, for over 100 years weve been holding a wrong opinion. But now we find the early theory about the anatomy of the Tyrannosaurus rexs head is far from the truth.”7. What is Casey Hollidays attitude towards the previous

25、 theory about the two holes?A. Doubtful. B. Objective.C. Supporting. D. Uninterested.8. According to Paragraph 3, an alligator _.A. has a higher body heat in summerB. tries to warm up its body in a cold placeC. can get used to various living conditionsD. can be easily recognized with big spots on it

26、s head9. Whats the function of the blood vessels in an alligators head?A. To keep the alligators head warm.B. To control the alligators blood pressure.C. To locate animals for the alligator to eat.D. To help the alligator adjust to different temperatures.10. How did Holliday and his team prove the o

27、ld belief to be wrong?A. By analyzing their thermal imaging data and fossils.B. By observing the muscles of alligators heads.C. By studying the structure of dead animals.D. By doing researches on alligators.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。A sidewalk sale is an outdoor s
