What does the underlined word " spot-on" in Paragraph 2 mean？ ______ ‎ A. Successful． B. True． C. Absurd． D. Uncertain．‎ ‎29. Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Birds？ ______ ‎ A. To introduce a wide diversity of birds． B. To show concern over birds' disappearance． C. To draw public attention to decreasing bird species． D. To examine the environmental influences on birds．‎ ‎30. What can we know about National Geographic？ ______ ‎ A. It focuses more on birds than other creatures． B. It offers sums of money to research on birds． C. It's the last connection between man and nature． D. It's popular with famous biologists and authors．‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text？ ______ ‎ A. This Is Why Birds Are Key to Conservation B. Birds Play a Key Role in the Natural World C. Biologists Devote Themselves to Bird Protection D. It Is High Time to Take Care of the Big Problems D Water， or rather the lack of it， is one of the most pressing issues of our times． Given that agriculture is the largest single user of freshwater， providing farmers with new conservation techniques would go a long way． It turns out that a "miracle" power called Solid Rain has been helping farmers do exactly that for over a decade! Farmers can simply mix the power in the soil， plant the crops as he or she normally would， and add water． Solid Rain absorb the liquid and keep it under the plant， creating an underground water "lake" for the plant's roots to draw upon as needed． As a result， farmers do not have to water crops as often． A season-long study showed that farmers using the power were able to increase their crop output by an average of 300 percent． Solid Rain also received the 2013 "Ecology and Environment Award" from Mexico's Foundation． So why isn't Solid Rain a household name？ First of all， though the product has been around for over a decade， the company did a poor job at marketing it and instead relied on farmers to help spread the word． Also， Solid Rain was not approved for sale in the United States until a few years ago． As a result， many US farmers have either not heard of it or haven't yet felt the need for a water-saving product． The reason for the slower than expected demand could also be due to the fact that not all experts are sold on the idea． They say that there is no scientific proof that Solid Rain stores water or that it remains in the ground for up to a decade． The company says while Solid Rain began as a way to aid drought-stricken farmers， it can be used even when water is not a concern． Their new goal is to "save water for future generations， one drop at a time．"‎ 32. What can we infer about Solid Rain？ ______ ‎ A. It can absorb and store water． B. It is similar to ice in appearance． ‎ C. It should be placed on the soil． D. It can turn into water when needed．‎ ‎33. How did the company advertise Solid Rain？ ______ ‎ A. Through TV advertisement． B. By doing experiments in public． C. By giving away free Solid Rain． D. Through the user's recommendation．‎ ‎34. Why can't Solid Rain be widely used in the USA？ ______ ‎ A. Its production is so small． B. The government still forbids its use now． C. Some experts doubt its effect． D. Farmers don't believe its effect．‎ ‎35. What does the company plan to do next according to the text？ ______ ‎ A. Use Solid Rain to change the climate． B. Apply Solid Rain in daily life to save water． C. Develop other products similar to Solid Rain． D. Begin using Solid Rain to help drought-stricken farmers．‎ 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）‎ The Struggles of the Highly Intelligent People Most people regard highly intelligent people as super humans． Yet， the reality is quite different． 36 If you're a highly intelligent person， these struggles and the lack of understanding from peers can leave you feeling lonely． In order to help you feel acknowledged and understood， here are some of your most common struggles． • 37 ． It can be quite a challenge for you to be involved in small talk about ordinary things． This is because your brain is full of great ideas． Topics that interest you likely include science， art， philosophy ，and those are rarely found in small talk． • Your job can easily bore you． The need for your brain to be constantly challenged with new greater ideas and projects can turn your once exciting job into ordinary and boring， as you exhaust all ways to be creative with it． 38 ． • You sometimes have action numbness． It's hard to be a thinker in a world that appreciates action more than great ideas． 39 ， you may at times be missing the action urge． Unfortunately， people tend to mistake this quality as laziness which leaves you feeling under-appreciated． • It's hard for you to fall in love． 40 Since you're much more cautious， analytical and independent， you tend to get mistaken for cold and high maintenance． However difficult your daily struggles may seem， you don't need to let them prevent you from growing． Go your own way!
