15、AQuality information.BPublic permission.CThe owners support.DA right background.In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it

16、. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, hes the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this years competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him. Cashore credits his parents for he

17、lping him prepare for his trip to Washington, DC , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together. When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate

18、”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didnt br ag about his

19、 accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that its very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “Ive always been that way, and I still feel that way.

20、 If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they re careless about their thinking.”“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English languag

21、e, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.24What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?AHe is the best ever spelling champion.BHe prepared alone for the spelling bee.

24、s in other countries: tourists in France can go for a ride in Brittany; so can visitors travelling to the Dandenong Ranges in Australia. But no other country has a heritage railway sector anywhere near as energetic as the UKs, where more than 170 services cross around 600 miles of track and call at

25、460 stations. Just a few years after the first of these railways opened at Talyllyn in north Wales, in1951, a fictional Welsh steam engine became the main character in the childrens television serial Ivor the Engine. On lines originally built for slate quarries (石板采石场), north Wales still has the big

26、gest group of steam railways, but they exist in all four nations of the UK, typically operating seasonal timetables in tourist areas. These railways are living museums with stations decorated in period style. Some staff wear costumes too. Up to 95% of the 18. 5m journeys on heritage railways each ye

27、ar are taken by domestic tourists. They owe their popularity to a combination of nostalgia (怀旧), enjoyment of the countryside and enthusiasm for the old engines. Railways are expensive to run, and the first steam preservation enthusiasts recognised that they would need volunteers to make their dream

28、 of a revival come true. This reliance on volunteers is partly due to cuts in budgets from local authorities and other funders. But heritage railways are a good example of what can be achieved by a combined paid and voluntary workforce. As well as the economic contribution that the railways make to

29、rural areas, there is evidence that volunteering can have beneficial effects on people as well. The railways will need to respond, like the rest of the society, to environmental policies. The destructive impact of greenhouse gases is an obvious challenge to a sector that trades on an image of coal-p

30、owered transport. Electric railway engines are being used for maintenance, to bring emissions down, and some railways are active in wildlife conservation. There will need to be further adaptation down the line. That the railways dont stand still has always been part of their appeal especially on rai

31、ny days in the summer holidays.28How are the UKs steam railways different from other countries?AThey are active across the countries.BThey serve as tourist attractions.CThey are mainly powered by steam.DThey use small amounts of energy.29Why does the author mention Ivor the Engine?ATo spread knowled

33、ford to travel by heritage railway.DLocal officials dont use old means of transport.31What is the authors attitude towards heritage railways?AIndifferent.BDoubtful.CAppreciative.DNegative.A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) an ancient

34、crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was a

35、ttacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cows remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animals neck. “Have you seen t

36、he Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild whe

37、re predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what were finding there.”The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in todays

38、ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified

39、 sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, w

40、as both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils.32What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow?AIt reached the top of food chains.BIt is thought to

41、have complex teeth.CIt belongs to an endangered species.DIt was attacked by two different animals.33What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?AThe scene of animal fights.BThe method of the research.CThe introduction of a movie.DThe danger of the experiments.34What does the importance of the study lie

42、in?AChallenging the current ecosystems.BOffering insights into ancient food webs.CClarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows.DFiguring out the link between man and nature.35Which of the following is the best title for the text?AThe Batman Movie Inspired a ResearchBA Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food C

Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud

44、or continuous squawking (尖叫). 36 Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird ho

45、me that some noise will be unavoidable. Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. 37 Its often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, its important to maintain a calm and gentle to

46、ne when interacting with your bird. 38 Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage. Avoid quick movements. Its possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated. 39 If you have children l

47、iving at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in. Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room

48、, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. 40 AUnderstand bird behavior.BTrain your bird to be quiet.CThis may be especially useful for parrots.DGive him a treat for quietness to earn your love.ETry squawking back to let him know that youre safe.FDo not raise your voice in response to your birds
