Also known as salinealkali tolerant rice (耐鹽堿水稻), the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content and has been developed by experts through crossbreeding (雜交) and other technologies.One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdaos Chengyang district, Shandong Province, produced 3.9 metric tons (公噸) per hectare (公頃), experts announced. Once widely planted in large areas, the output could be much higher.The Qingdao SalineAlkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, led by renowned Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established several years ago. It set itself a threeyear target of developing a kind of saltresistant rice capable of producing 4.5 tons a hectare, which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. The average rice output in China is 6.75 tons a hectare.Planting in the experimental field in Chengyang district and five other plots of salinealkali land started at the end of May. The five other plots were in Dongying, Shandong Province; Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province; Yanan, Shaanxi Province; Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region; and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. The sites represent actually every type of salinealkali land in China and researchers aim to grow different kinds of rice able to cope with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions. The test crops in Kashgar and Daqing were also harvested on Wednesday. In Kashgar, the output reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts tests, much higher than expected. The harvest in Kashgar was satisfactory. The result means it is possible to plant such saltresistant rice in southern Xinjiang in the future. Xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of salinealkali land that have the potential to be planted with saltresistant rice, and if it is widely planted it will generally improve rice production in the region.The seawater rice grown in Daqing only produced 3.1 tons per hectare. A live video on Shandong TV showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts efforts would increase production greatly. The water and soil conditions of the site were not ideal, and the pH level was extremely high.語篇解讀：2018年7月，青島海水稻研發(fā)中心傳來喜訊，袁隆平試種的包括“海水稻”在內(nèi)的80多個(gè)水稻品種分批成熟?！昂Ｋ尽毖芯吭趪鴥?nèi)外都有很長的一段歷史，袁隆平領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的海水稻項(xiàng)目使中國技術(shù)處于海水稻研究的前列。4Which is the main feature of seawater rice according to the text?AIt has a shorter growing period.BIt is a kind of highly productive crop.CIt can grow in the soil with high salt content.Dit is the bination of many technologies.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content”可知，海水稻最大的優(yōu)勢是可以種植在含鹽量高的土壤里 。5How much rice does a farmer harvest at least to meet the cost?A3.9 tons a hectare.B4.5 tons a hectare.C6.75 tons a hectare. D7.5 tons a hectare.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit”可知，每公頃4.5噸的產(chǎn)量對種植者來說是最低的收益保障。6The researchers chose the experimental fields according to _.Athe distance between themBthe type of the soil and climateCthe local governments supportDthe local agricultural conditions解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知，研究人員選擇試驗(yàn)田的依據(jù)是氣候、土壤的鹽度和土壤結(jié)構(gòu)。7What can we infer about the seawater rice from the last paragraph?AThe seawater rice is not fit for all kinds of salinealkali soils.BIt is impossible for the seawater rice to have a good harvest.CGrowers from Shandong Province were a little disappointed by the result.DThe output of the seawater rice grown in Daqing is the lowest.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，海水稻并非適合所有的土壤。CFor many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before.He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare, exotic species.That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.In December 2015, he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ever to enter the mistcovered region.“As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter.Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around，” Bexler says.Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chickenlike bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.The honeyeater wasnt the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species 13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms.“We_were_like_kids_in_a_candy_store，” Bexler recalls.“Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”The newfound species didnt shy away from the scientists.Two longnosed echidnas primitive egglaying mammals let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.Bexler thinks the animals werent scared because they had never seen humans before.“In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people，” he explains.“This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outeredges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approximately a 10day walk from the nearest village.Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area pletely.They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species.“We just scratched the surface，” Bexler says.“Anyone who goes there will e back with a mystery.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Bruce Bexler夢想去人類從未到過的地方，而后來他與澳大利亞和美國的科學(xué)家在新幾內(nèi)亞島發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些新物種的故事。8Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?AAdventurous. BCautious.COptimistic. DCareful.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知，Bruce Bexler夢想去人類從未到過的地方，開辟一條未經(jīng)探索的路并且發(fā)現(xiàn)罕見的奇異物種。因此可以推斷Bruce Bexler是一個(gè)具有冒險(xiǎn)精神的(Adventurous)人，故選A項(xiàng)。9What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says “We were like kids in a candy store”？AThey didnt have enough food and were hungry.BThey were very excited about what they saw.CThey were misbehaving like naughty children.DThey knew that if they kept searching, theyd find sugar in the forest.解析：選B句意理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”可知，他們對之前從未見過的事物感到驚奇。因此“We were like kids in a candy store”指的是Bruce Bexler在這個(gè)杳無人煙的地方因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)了許多未曾見過的新物種而非常興奮，就像糖果店里的孩子一樣。故選B項(xiàng)。10Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?AThe scientists seemed to be very friendly.BThe scientists were skilled in handling animals.CThe animals had been welltrained by the local people.DThe animals had no experience or fear of people.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段中的“Bexler thinks the animals werent scared because they had never seen humans before.”可知，一些動物允許科學(xué)家把它們抱起來是因?yàn)樗鼈冎皼]有見過人類，它們不害怕人類。故選D項(xiàng)。11What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?AThe best way to explore the area is by helicopter.BThe locals live in the centre of the forest.CThe area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.DThe locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species.”可知，他們希望還能回到這個(gè)地區(qū)并期待發(fā)現(xiàn)、記錄更多未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的物種。故選C項(xiàng)“這個(gè)地區(qū)仍然有很多科學(xué)上未知的動植物”。D(2019鄭州質(zhì)檢)Imagine youre standing in line to buy a snack at a store.You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food.Next, you have to pay.But instead of scanning a QR code (二維碼) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint.Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away.As technology panies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征識別的) security, which includes fingerprints, faces and voice ID, is being increasingly popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner.Since then, using ones fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has bee a monplace, bringing convenience to our lives.And since 2016, Samsung has featured eyescanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apples new iPhone X can even scan a users face.But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we imagine.“Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much，” said John Michener, a biometrics expert.When introducing the new iPhones face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vicepresident, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But its already been done.In a video posted on a munity website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face.And they arent even twins.“We may expect too much from biometrics，” Anil Jain, a puter science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News.“No security systems are perfect.”Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security.Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead persons smartphone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter.“Its good to see biometrics being used more，” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security.And using multiple security measures is the best defense.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了生物識別技術(shù)在智能手機(jī)上的應(yīng)用及其存在的一些安全問題。12Which is the latest identification technology in a smartphone according to the passage?AFace scanning. BEye scanning.CQR code scanning. DFingerprint scanning.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，2013年iPhone 5s使用了指紋掃描；2016年三星在智能手機(jī)上運(yùn)用了眼部掃描技術(shù)，而iPhone X甚至可以掃描用戶的臉。所以，在智能手機(jī)中最新的識別技術(shù)應(yīng)是面部識別。13What is a major problem of the iPhone Xs face ID system?AIt takes too long to unlock the phone.BIt often fails to recognize its owners face.CFace data can be used for other purposes.DDifferent faces can be used to unlock the same phone.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后兩句可知，iPhone X的面部識別技術(shù)的問題是不同的臉可以解鎖同一部手機(jī)。14What is Anil Jains opinion about biometric security?AIt is as secure as traditional measures.BIt is perfect without much improvement.CIt has caused much trouble for the police.DIt should be used with other security measures.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，Anil Jain認(rèn)為生物識別技術(shù)應(yīng)該與其他安全措施一起使用。15What does the author intend to tell us in this passage?AThe popularity of biometrics.BSecurity problems of biometrics.CVarious problems with biometrics.DGreat changes caused by biometrics.解析：選B寫作意圖題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是第三段中的“But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we imagine.Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much”可知，通過這篇文章作者想告訴我們的是生物識別技術(shù)存在的一些安全問題。.閱讀七選五(2019贛州聯(lián)考)While its wonderful to share a special trip and new experience with friends or family, theres an attractive case for traveling alone from time to time.Solo travel can work for anyone, and here are good reasons why you should try it.You neednt discuss with others.It can be challenging to talk over a trip and time away from work with another busy person in your life._1_ Usually, these challenges can be overe by simply planning far in advance.However, if you cant find a travel partner on short notice, it may be the perfect time to pack your bags and go anyway.Youre your own great pany.If you rarely spend significant time alone, you may be surprised at how enjoyable it can be._2_ Depending on the destination, a solo trip can be a powerful and lifechanging experience.Imagine sitting on a peaceful beach at sunset or taking an inviting morning hike alone._3_Meet new people.If you are a born open person, traveling alone can be a wonderful way to meet locals and make new friends.Often, people who are alone appear more approachable to others._4_ You could even join a group of likeminded people for yoga on the beach.The key is to keep an open mind while keeping safety in mind, especially in a foreign land._5_For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when youre traveling alone.People tend to admire those who travel by themselves.AEnjoy great service.BDo everything you want.CJust acpany yourself.DIf things dont go well, the entire trip can be terrible.EYou could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe.FYou can enjoy such a hike without making conversation with anyone.GAnd its even more difficult when you try to make plans with a group.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了應(yīng)嘗試獨(dú)自旅行的幾個(gè)原因。1選G根據(jù)空前一句，并與空后一句呼應(yīng)可推知，和一個(gè)人商量旅行尚且有困難，更不要說一群人了，與本段主題句“You neednt discuss with others.”呼應(yīng)，所以選G項(xiàng)。2選C根據(jù)空后一句，并與本段主題句“Youre your own great pany.”呼應(yīng)可推知，自己一個(gè)人出去旅行，與自己做伴是很棒的體驗(yàn)，故選C項(xiàng)。3選F根據(jù)空前一句可推知，空處應(yīng)是進(jìn)一步說明獨(dú)自遠(yuǎn)足的好處，所以選F項(xiàng)。4選E根據(jù)空后一句并與本段主題句“Meet new people.”呼應(yīng)可推知，在獨(dú)自旅行途中可以和有趣的人聊天，結(jié)交新朋友，所以選E項(xiàng)。5選A根據(jù)下文的“For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when youre traveling alone.”可推知，本段主要講的是獨(dú)自旅行時(shí)會有更好的服務(wù)，所以選A項(xiàng)。
