课时作业 二十八 模块5　Unit 2 The environment2‎ 建议时间 / 35分钟 ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 词数:320 　主题:探测水中铅 　文体:记叙文 When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.‎ In just three months, Rao came up with a device(装置) that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation(诉讼) in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America's Top Young Scientist for 2017.‎ Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管) that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.‎ Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh-water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.‎ ‎1. What do we know about Rao's device? ‎ A.It's cheap and quick.‎ B.It's cheap and inaccurate.‎ C.It's expensive and reliable.‎ D.It's portable and time-consuming.‎ ‎2. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?‎ A.Her parents' suggestions.‎ B.The name of the Greek goddess.‎ C.Her interest in settling real problems.‎ D.The water pollution litigation in Flint.‎ ‎3. What do the carbon nanotubes function as?‎ A.Sending immediate signals.‎ B.Recording the reaction results.‎ C.Detecting the presence of lead.‎ D.Showing the water quality results.‎ ‎4. What does the author think of Rao's invention?‎ A.It will lead Rao to make a fortune.‎ B.It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.‎ C.It will promote the development of science in America.‎ D.It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.‎ B 词数:333 　主题:气候变暖　文体:说明文 ‎“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere,but changes in temperature,humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.‎ Forty-five per cent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats,caused by climate change,are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.‎ ‎“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved,or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said.“Until we understand more,we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”‎ The change was big in cold-blooded animals.Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller.An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 per cent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢).Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards.Fish are smaller now too.Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers,experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth.There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton,the base of the marine ecosystem.‎ Warm-blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change.Many birds are now smaller.Mammals have been miniaturized too.Soay sheep are thinner.Red deer are weaker.And polar bears are smaller,compared with historical records.‎ This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history.Fifty-five million years ago,a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees,spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 per cent over several thousand years.That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.‎ The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough,especially those with long generation times.So,it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.‎ ‎5.The best title for the passage is “　　　　”. ‎ A.Why do some species become smaller?‎ B.Species become smaller with the climate getting warmer C.How does temperature change in Earth's history?‎ D.Climate change has many negative effects ‎6.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe　　　　. ‎ A.all the animals on the earth have become smaller B.too many studies on animals' size have been done C.how climate change affects animals' size has not been found clearly D.people can avoid the negative effects of climate change ‎7.The passage implies 　　　　. ‎ A.birds have suffered more from climate change than fish B.ants,bees and spiders have been shrinking by 50% to 70% in the past decade C.a warming event causing species to become smaller has never happened before D.climate change has even a negative impact on plankton ‎8.The author's attitude to climate change in the passage is 　　　　. ‎ A.indifferent B.optimistic C.worried D.confident Ⅱ.完形填空 词数:286　主题:关于猫头鹰的故事　文体:夹叙夹议 One day, Walter Elias was walking through an apple orchard (果园) when he discovered an owl (猫头鹰) in a tree.
