7、ty Service Center.D518 Park Dr near the mailroom.In 2010, Barack Obama was to pay a visit to Mumbais Gandhi Museum, where palm(棕榈)trees full of me dotted the grounds. The president knew me well-coconuts (椰子)are a part of life in Indonesia, where he spent his boyhood. Before his visit, Indian authori

8、ties, however, removed every last sign of me around the museum. They were afraid the president of the United States would be taken out by one of me falling on his head.Lets get this out of the way: My reputation as the “killer fruit” of countless innocents was then and still is a misbelief. A repeat

9、edly misinterpreted 1984 study overstated the number of deaths I caused by hitting people on the head, and the word spread. Today, the only things about me “to die for” are the sometimes too-delicious foods you humans make with me, such as cookies and pies. A decade ago, health experts briefly gave

10、me a halo because some of my fats may raise beneficial cholesterol (胆固醇). But ask a heart doctor today and theyll tell you that coconut oil will raise your bad cholesterol as much. Death by coconut, indeed!People have other wrong ideas about me. But allow me to leave you with a sweet presidential ta

11、le. A World War II boat commanded by one John F.Kennedy was destroyed in 1943 by a Japanese warship. Kennedy and his surviving crew were stuck on an island. They were suffering from hunger, thirst and injuries when they met two friendly native coast-watchers. Kennedy scratched a message into a cocon

12、ut shell: “NAURO ISL.COMMANDER.11 ALIVE.NEED SMALL BOAT.KENNEDY.”The coast-watchers delivered this successfully and all the crew were saved. Years later, the coconut shell was given to the newly elected president. It sat on his office desk throughout his presidency and now is a center-piece of the J

15、story of coconuts.DTo describe a successful rescue.Very, very long ago, dogs didnt exist. There were just wolves of different kinds. “Dogor”, an 18,000-year-old puppy, was found frozen in the permafrost in Siberia near Yakutsk. Permafrost is a layer of ground in Arctic and Antarctic areas that remai

16、ns frozen. Recently, areas of permafrost are thawing (解冻) as the world has warmed, and uncovering secrets long buried and frozen.Dogor came out of the ground covered with mud and ice, but scientists carefully cleaned him. His head, including his nose, hair, eyelashes, and a mouth full of young teeth

17、, is still very much like it was when he died. Scientists from Sweden have tested him carefully. Their tests showed that the puppy lived 18,000 years ago, that it was a male, and that it was about two months old when it died.But even though the scientists ran two DNA tests to discover whether Dogor

18、was a dog or a wolf, they didnt get what they wanted. The scientists say that normally its fairly “easy to tell the difference”. They now plan on doing a third DNA test. In any case, the results will teach scientists a lot about the history of dogs and when they began to separate from wolves. “We ca

19、nt wait to get results from further tests,” said Sergey Fedorov, of the Mammoth Museum of North-Eastern Federal University.Some people believe we may soon get even more information about very old animals. Due to the climate change, the worlds temperature has gone up by 1, which has led to heat waves

20、, record dry periods, wildfires, record rains, and more strong hurricanes. Since the permafrost in Siberia and other areas is thawing, its possible that even more animals will be found, which could help scientists learn more about early history.8Whats special about Dogor?AIts the worlds earliest dog

21、.BIt survived extreme cold.CIt has shown many secrets.DIt is preserved perfectly.9Which word can best describe the result of the study on Dogor?AUncertain.BSatisfying.CUnreliable.DChallenging.10What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?AThe rise of temperature benefits animal studies

23、nto the ground, there are many different ways to access drinking water in places where its in short supply. But with overpopulation, climate change and increasing water shortage, innovators have been on the lookout for a new solution and some are convinced the answer is up in the air.SOURCE Global i

24、s one of the many companies around the world extracting (提取) water from the air, with the hope of helping unwatered communities. However, its technology has a sustainable change. Its devices, named Hydropanels, are powered by built-in solar panels.“Youre able to harvest water from the air using sola

25、r power and nothing else, no need for electricity, no need for a grid, no need for infrastructure its perfectly self-sufficient,” explains Vahid Fotuhi, the companys vice president.Atmospheric water generators (AWGs), like SOURCEs, are machines that produce drinkable water from surrounding air. Thes

26、e devices have been around for about a decade and traditionally theyre based on condensation cooling water vapor to collect water. This process, however, can consume a lot of electricity and many of these early technologies only work in places with high air humidity (湿气). These limits are what urged

27、 SOURCE to develop a more flexible and sustainable solution.Its solar panels power a fan that draws in air. Inside the device, the air travels through a sponge-like (海绵样的) material that traps the water vapor. SOURCE has fixed its Hydropanels around the world at hospitals, schools and work sites that

28、 have difficulty accessing water. It has also attracted commercial clients particularly in countries catering to tourists in isolated landscapes, such as the desert.According to Keith Hays, vice president of Bluefield Research, SOURCEs design is different from other AWGs because it combines solar-ba

29、sed power supply and water capture mechanism within the same structure, enabling off-network operation. “Other systems usually have a separate panel or connect to the network,” he explains.12What is paragraph 1 mainly about?AThe pollution of drinking water.BThe shortage of drinking water.CThe soluti

30、ons to drinkable water shortage.DThe potential markets of drinkable water.13Why is SOURCE looking for new solutions?AAWGs designs are too traditional.BAWGs process is no longer satisfactory.CAWGs equipment has been used too long.DAWGs fail to work in areas with high air humidity.14What might be a mo

31、re pleasing result of SOURCEs design?AIt can provide schools with free water.BWater is available in remote desert areas.CWater in hospitals has become cleaner.DIt can promote local tourism.15What is Keith Hays attitude to the design of SOURCE?AConservative.BCritical.CApproving.DDoubtful.二、七选五Wildlif

32、e workers in Florida are feeding manatees to keep them from starving. _16_ So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce. Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when grown._17_ In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea. Thats

33、one reason theyre sometimes called “sea cows”. They spend most of their time in warm shallow water looking for food. But Floridas manatees have been on the US governments list of endangered animals since 1967. Most threats to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the creature

34、s are boats. _18_ Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed. _19_At one point, there were only about 2, 000 manatees left in Florida. But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees. But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they cant get

35、enough to eat. Many of the beds of sea grass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution. Sea grass began to disappear around 2011. Warming seas, combined with polluted water and fertilizers that have washed off of farmlands, have created huge growths of algae on the oceans

36、surface.Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving._20_ Many of the manatees that remain are so thin that their ribs can be seen. Often they have trouble swimming. So last December, wildlife experts came up with a plan to get emergency food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetabl

37、es like lettuce and cabbage. Long term, Florida is working to help restore sea grass beds. But that will take time.AThat was a record.BThey can weigh up to 590 kilograms.CThe feeding station has been very successful.DWith protection, manatees managed to bounce back.EIt blocks the sunlight that allow

38、s the sea grass to grow.FBut feeding these massive sea creatures takes a lot of food.GResearch needs to be done to determine what food would be best.三、完形填空I have been volunteering for Tri-County Wildlife Care (TCWC) for 7 years.
